Description
Start either under C1 or traverse in from the right for an easier start. Once at C1, go straight up on huge holds for 2 clips to the (LLLL) Ledge.
Sustained 8ish climbing straight up for 3 clips on good pockets and edges gets you to a great stance. Continue on with more great holds for 2 clips, then cruise the final short, crux, bulge section, and then climb sharp pockets to the anchors.

[Hide Comment] I thought this was a fun moderate route on the blunt arete about 12 feet right of "First Blood." For me, the crux was clipping the first bolt, and then again reaching the bolt just about 15 inches left and below where Nan is standing in the photo. BTW, it's a long route to the top -- a 60M rope should be okay, but tie knots in the end to be safe.
MJM -- the bolts were all thoughtfully placed; thank you for putting up a fun moderate route!

[Hide Comment] Starting right, then going left after the ledge seemed a nice 5.8. Starting left, then staying right of the obvious crack was a fun alternative, more like 9+.

[Hide Comment] Cool route. Thought the crux was right in the middle getting up the face with the crack. Maybe it's the 4th bolt or so. Actually had to think for few moments about the best way to tackle it, but it's super manageable, and best of all, really long! Don't be confused by the REALLY old and rusty anchors that seem like they are at the top (they will be to your left). Keep climbing up and to the right, and you'll find much better hardware.
