Description 

This route follows the arete just right of Flying in the Mountains. Most of the route protects with thin gear in a small crack that runs along the arete. When the crack peters out clip a bolt and face climb out right and up to a second bolt. After the second bolt continue straight up then right up gully past the tree to the anchor on Homeworld or stay on the unprotected, as of yet, face to the same.

You can also do a harder start to the right. Climb past a pin and 3 bolts of Back for More. At the third bolt move out on the arete to the top. Nice to have a small finger size cam between the 2nd and 3rd bolts.
