Description
Begin about 35 feet left of Acuity (toward Labor Dome and the shady side of Hitman Rock) below an arête.
Start on the left side of the arête. Step right to gain a flake, which is used to reach another flake (a bit loose - be careful). Follow a series of horizontal cracks up the arête to the top.
