The route is just left of the dihedral climb called A Sharp, the route starts at the toe of the buttress. While the guide Tough Schist claims the start is climbing the thin cracks on a low-angled face, I chose to start by climbing the arete and remained on the arete for the most part. I found this route very enjoyable!

I think the lead crux is fairly clear low on the route. A marginal micro cam can be had but it's dubious and the placement is critical to avoid a ground fall. There is also a runout section on easy terrain at middle height of the route. Like many of the trad routes at Lower, I wouldn't recommend this unless the leader is confident at the grade while placing gear. Aug 13, 2017
