Description
Thin face climb to the right of Lycra Virgin. The first bolt is high for a sport climb, but the moves are relatively easy and on good holds. More easy climbing to the second bolt. The crux comes after bolt 3, moving up and left into a subtle corner. More hard climbing up the seam to a good horizontal crack just below the roof. Then climb up to another thin horizontal and make a fingertip traverse right to the Goodhead anchor.
Would be better if the climbing didn't rely so heavily on small, sharp, and fragile features that might exfoliate. The crux seemed hard for the grade, possibly because some stuff has already broken. This can be toproped after leading the much easier Goodhead.
