Description
The crux is the pump. Get used to resting on your arms.
From the anchors of the Green Wall, step up to clip the first bolt on the slab apron. Step up and left onto the apron and follow large horizontals back and forth to reach the second bolt. A small hand sized piece can be placed before clipping the second bolt if the clip is too far. Make the bulge move to get to more of the same good holds and the third bolt just left of the arete. Pull around the arete to the left and catch a rest. Another small hand sized piece can be placed out left to protect the final hand traverse to the anchor. Step up from the rest and traverse right until you can gain the ledge with the bolts. For full value, do this in one pitch from the Green Wall and sling the anchors long.
Note: There is a semi-detached flake down and to the right of the third bolt. Some of the horizontals down low are really sharp and may pop.
