Description
Begin just left of the Fetus and make a step-across move/dyno to gain a ledge with the hands. Shorter people can easily stem off the boulder to reach the ledge. Hand traverse left to the 2nd bolt, then power over a bulge on crimps (Crux). The middle section has some enjoyable steep face climbing, with a 10b/c slab move above the fourth bolt.
[Update] Looks like a key hold has broken off at the crux above the second bolt, so this section is harder now (5.11), and it may take a few more ascents to achieve consensus on the new rating.
If you're toproping, an easier variation is to hand traverse all the way left to the left end of the ledge, past the 2nd bolt, then power over the bulge on crimps, (10+, height dependent), FA (TR) Matt Beebe and Jaime Camp 11/22.
