Description

A variation pitch approached via White Maiden or Illegitimate. From WM it's a tricky turn around a corner into a nice layback, then step left again for a splitter finger crack. Finish by moving right onto a 8in deep ledge, then straight up or right to a belay on WM. Some nasty loose blocks to reach WM, be careful.
The approach from Illegitimate goes straight up into it but it harder to protect.

Also, careful on the approach from WM, there's a very large hollow flake, ok to climb on but don't place in it. I climbed higher than the traverse into the corner and placed a piece above the hollow flake (next to a fixed cam) and then down climbed back to the leftward traverse.

Location

Right of Zeno's Paradox and left of left-most variation of White Maiden.

Protection

Takes everything to C4 #3 and protects well.
