Description

Well, it's on the northeast arete of the west twin...the standup is good, but the real money in in the sitdown. Start on the obvious sloper, and either move up and left to the beautful slopers, then toss right to join the standup, or move up and right through a really small crimp and toss left into the standup (about V7 either way).
