Description 

Instead of climbing up the rightward trending ramp, climb directly up the face to the small roof band, place a cam with a runner, and make the crux move up onto the face. Relatively easy climbing joins in with Kermit's Wad.


Protection 

A cam under the terrace, and 5-6 draws for the route.

This way is far more fun.

This is unnecessarily run out. Why not put another bolt in rightbefore you make the tricky move? Groundfall if you blow it.

I think you can reach around and place gear like you do for the original start and avoid the spookiness. But its pretty easy between the bolts.
