Start on the obvious orange rail in the cave, with feet in the horizontal roof out left. I moved right hand up to sloping nub. A hard heel on the rail and toe scum in the roof marks the crux (for me) to a left had crimp. From there opposing gastons to sloper pinches up and left. Give it a go and let me know what you think, I hate grading routes. I did not use the detached boulder at the start in the cave.

Location

In the middle-ish of the 3 sisters area, basically behind electric arete. Get on top of those boulders and look for a steep open cave with a parallel boulder making a decent landing. It more or less on top of Leaving the Den

Protection

I used two pads, strung to an anchor at the top of the boulders, see photos. I built the anchor with a black, blue, and pink tricam. Three/ four pads would be way better. Also, I found a snake skin and rather deep hole so keep an eye open for critters.
