Located at the far end of the corridor on the left side. Stem and boulder up chicken heads to reach a ledge below the first bolt. Climb up right and reach left to clip the first bolt. Make long moves up jugs and huecos to reach the second bolt. Depending on your height and style climb left or directly up to the third bolt, first crux. Climb 30-40 feet of crack and flakes to reach the 4th bolt, placing gear in the crack along the way. Make technical and reachy moves between the 4th and 5th bolts, second crux to reach the anchor Clip three bolts which follow nice patina edges then follow a small crack to two more bolts above which take you back to nice patina holds. A bit reachy here and there.
