Description
According to Rakkup, this is Wrestling the Goat, not the other route on Mountain Project with that name.
Start on the block/arete under the roof with the chossy flakes on top. Pull the roof, and either top out (scary high) or drop off once you get established standing above the lip of the roof.
The guidebook says V5, but it seemed soft to me. I was tall enough to reach the key holds while keeping a hand jam or heel-toe cam in the starting chossy flakes, which made it much easier for me.

Location
To the right of the Y2K roof, it is just to the right of the tight, fairly clean-cut corner of Chalking the Ham and just to the left of a blocky, overhanging corner.
