From there, make a big pull up to a huge, left hand block, place a right heel, reach a right hand pinch, bump the left up to a fingerlock, cross over with the right to an edge, hit the edge above with the left hand, bring the feet over onto the face, work the left hand up the big sidepull to the arete, then top it out at the boulder's apex.

Location

It starts out on the boulder's blunt west arete, crosses over to the north arete, and shares the finish of Air Out The Sound.

Protection

A pair of pads. The landing is flat and clear, perfect.
