It's likely few climber go there, but it may affect the adventurous.
Description
This climb is about 5 feet left of Brain Cloud. Follow a thin crack on the left side of the arête, then move right to the Brain Cloud anchors. Aesthetically, this climb looks great; but the actual climbing is not as exciting as it appears. The crux is about 20 feet up. If you stay in the crack and not wander to the ledges on your left, you will get the most out of the climb.
Protection
Small stoppers, up to 1" cams, and two double slings for the anchor to avoid rope damage on the lip. This climb offers excellent protection. Use the Brain Cloud bolted anchors.
