Description
From atop of P2 of The Diagonal, move up and hard left from the belay about 20' to a series of steep bulges and cracks on good holds. Pull the bulges and trend up and left to an exposed stance headed towards a lone bolt. Clip the bolt, pull up making a series of committing moves to the Quartz under-cling and a good cam placements. Pull out left through the final overhang onto a comfy ledge and a ring bolt anchor.
Location
Access the left variation via the top of Pitch 2 of The Diagonal. Rap the route back to the base with 2-60M ropes (knot the ends, its a rope stretcher) or with a single 60M, Rap back to the top of P2 and down the Flight of the Manatee rap-line. With a 70M, Rap back to the top of P1 of the Diagonal, then to the base. Or rap back to the top of P2 & continue up the right variation of the Diagonal.
