Description

This line follows the first half dozen or so bolts of Mr. Critical, but where the route heads left, the variation continues up the slab and through the bulge out right. Here, you'll encounter committing moves followed by thin crystal crimping. Absolutely not to be missed. Finish on anchors of lower summit.
