Description 

If Ethereal/7th Seal/etc. are taken, or you've done everything else in the area... this route is surprisingly fun, following the face/thin crack/arete just right of Beelzebub Corner. If you stay off the arete, it's 5.10.

Thin face moves lead to a thin crack for your right hand and a blocky arete for your left. Move up to an undercling flake, protect, and crank a 5.9 move to much easier climbing.

Location 

Ethereal Buttress

Protection 

Normal rack, mostly takes small nuts/cams. The initial face moves are a bit dangerous- You can make them safe by placing a sling high in the tree to your left before starting.
