Description
Begin slightly left of the belay tree that is a bit to the left of the start of Archetype. Climb the face directly up until reaching a large horizontal that is slightly higher than the belay tree on top of Archetype. (Beware of a short section about 30' off the ground of suspect rock.) Once at the horizontal, compress and hand traverse left to sling the tree. When moving back to the right, rather than going far right, up and then traversing back to the left as on Low Rider, reach high over the first roof at your first opportunity which will put you directly under the exit notch, thus eliminating the cruxy left traverse of Low Rider. -Indy's Online Guide
