Description
Two definite schools of thought on the start. I led in directly from below being taller, using some dynamic moves and smearing. Partner very delicately came in from left side. Solid reachy hands with good feet in between gaps of blankness. Fun route.
Location
Just right of Dimrill stair. Surprised was not in MP.com already, seemed like a commonly done route.
Right side of Middle earth corridor.
Protection
3 bolts, bolted anchors

As mentioned by RAZORsharp, it seems most beta moves to the right at the third bolt. This seemed way more doable to me, although it's using holds on Andúril. Direct only has really tiny edges to work with.
