Description
Starts sitting on a jug under the roof to the left of the start of the Pond Cave Traverse. Make a big move as far up the arête as you can, then use a cool hold in the roof to join the arête and top out up and left using heel hooks, the same as for the Buddhist. Basically, start left under the roof and join the Buddhist as far up the arête as you can.
For bonus points, you can start on the jug to the right (start hold of the Buddhist) and low traverse under the lip to the left to the start hold of Quiet Buddhist and then proceed from there.
Location
Just left of the pond cave crack, traverses the lip left.
Protection
Pads, multiple are helpful because of a large boulder under the landing.
