Description

Make some chimney/stemming moves up the back of the alcove until it is possible to step onto the left side wall. Place pro, then move up the awesome but short corner to a crux pull out the lip and onto easier slabs above.

Location

On the right side of the Magnum Block is an alcove. The swell starts on the left wall of the alcove, under the obvious roof with a curving inside corner above it.
