Description
Start standing immediately left of the chalked up southeast arete with an undercling for your right hand and a knob up high for your left (or match the undercling and throw up with your left for the first move). Paste your feet on, and throw up right to a good edge, then shuffle feet, and get a really high right foot in a small pocket (best to have a spotter here because a fall would be weird). Rock up onto this foot, throw up to a small knob with your left, then continue straight up for the topout.
