Description
Start seated on a block down and right. Make a big move into a good flake then trend left across the face. Top out and and run up the high but easy slab.
Location

[Hide Comment] Ian may be exaggerating the safety thing here. If you're comfortable in the v7 range you can probably do this with 4 pads (2 big, 2 simple with a spotter). If not, you may want 6 but it'd be worth hiking them up there.
That being said, you really don't want to dry fire off the second to last move because you'd probably miss the landing and take a 25 foot fall into the talus.

[Hide Comment] Botching it pulling onto the slab or after would be ugly. Falls from the crux feel well protected with four or so pads though.
