Description
You can start it either with the first pitch of Overhang Bypass (from the right) or with it's original first pitch (up the north side). Either way, you end up in the obvious scoop on the righthand side of the north face. Instead of heading right as you do for Overhang, climb up into the left side of the scoop, clipping a couple of (hopefully replaced by now) bolts. Lock on the crack and swing up and around the corner into the steep hand crack that angles up and left to the summit. This move is quite exciting, but a classic!
