Description
From the GT ledge, start from the left side of a huge blocky pinnacle.
Description with help from Pawel: Aim towards a deeply notched overhang that is over a steep, reddish face. Start by working up through some steep face moves. Above the face, move past the first overhang (crux) to a good stance. After this, pass the next overhang by moving right, up in to the notch, over, and back left into the open book to the top.
In summary: it's a steep pumpy then thin face, and two overhangs with really good rests in between.
Descent: Three rappels from bolted anchors over No Glow will get you to the ground with a single rope.
Location
