This little shredder climbs patina and pinches past four bolts to a two bolt belay. Not that the climbing goes that way, but the left arete and gully are off route.

It's also the approach to Steel Reserve.

Well for historical clarity, "Steel Reserve" is actually pitch 2 of Total Ramon. So that would be the true start. Not that you can't start wherever you want. I did notice that at some point there was some rock fall at the start of the upper pitch, so coming in from Total Ramon may now be less appealing.
