Above Natural Log Cabin/Deal with it Ranger is this arching corner. Begin via ledgy climbing (some loose blocks exist) to the base of a thin groove. Climb the groove (.11) to the base of the corner. Physical flared crack climbing leads past a bolt to a beguiling face crux past one or two pins. Stop at the anchor or continue past 3 or 4 bolts on the arete (.10) to another anchor.
Location
The easiest way to approach this pitch is via Godzilla P1 and the retrobolted second pitch of Godzilla/The Cidiot (5.9, 5.10). The Cidiot continues to the right while the (overgrown) second pitch of Godzilla continues straight above. Alternate approaches are via Natural Log Cabin/Deal with it Ranger, Narrow Arrow Overhang, or from the upper anchors on Narrow Arrow Direct via rappel. Some of these latter approaches would involve shenanigans.
Two 60m or 70m ropes are needed to rappel.
Protection
Gear to 3 inches with extra small nuts and cams. One bolt on the first section; 3 or 4 on the arete. Fixed anchors for both options.
This corner may have been aided in the past; this entry is for the FFA.
