Description Suggest change

This route uses nearly all the same holds as the classic Polish Traverse but climbs significantly differently. Personally, I think the movement is a bit more interesting and the line is arguably more aesthetic as it follows the sweep of rock up and left to the highest point of the boulder. Climbing this makes you realize that the Polish Traverse is actually a downclimb.

Start on the good flake that marks the end of the hard climbing on the Polish Traverse and move left, culminating in an exciting barndoor deadpoint throw to the sloping mouth. Top out at the high point.

The sit start (first move of Smack the Dragon, then move left into Reverse Polish) is probably a worthy linkup as well (V7?)
