Description

Pass three bolts on nice black patina climbing (first crux). Continue up past a few more bolts while angling slightly up and right, aiming for the obvious black patina that is just above a small overlap. A delicate standup obtains the overlap (second crux). Pass a few more bolts while moving up left to the final finishing moves into the slick scoop.

Good previously overlooked route. Even though it's short it's almost all good climbing with engaging moves.
