Description Suggest change

Start as for Le Plie at the thin crack in the slab.  Climb up to the big block and get on top of it (either on the left or right of the block).  Instead of traversing left, traverse right across a blank looking, bulgy face below a roof.  You can either drop low and hand traverse on crimps before making a hard stand up move or stay high and balance your way across by using the crimps as feet.  Either method has a difficult move or two and there is no gear after the block until you finish the traverse.  Continue up into the Outer Space corner and finish by traversing left to the anchor.

Location Suggest change

Same start as Le Plie, at the thin crack in a slab at the beginning of the Nears, just left of the big Kansas City roof.

Protection Suggest change

Single rack. A small piece can be placed before mantling onto the block, or a #6 fits on top of the block. After that it's a traversing runout to get into the Outer Space corner, where good gear is available. A fall during or immediately following the crux traverse moves could have serious consequences.
