Description
Start to the right of Falcon and the Snowman below a runnel/corner.
Climb a thin flake to a high bolt (a fall before clipping the first bolt would almost certainly have very bad consequences [the bolt can be stick clipped]). Climb up and right around a small roof/overlap to a stance then head up and left into a shallow right-facing corner/flake. Climb to the top of the huge flake where you'll find a communal belay anchor.
A single rope rappel from the anchor will get you to the ground.
