Description

The boulder problem extension to "The Invader." Start in the cave on a horizontal jug rail, push out to the lip, and traverse it into and through the bolted route. Despite being an abnormal route the line is obvious and aesthetic, the movement is interesting and the cruxes of the original route become much more of a power endurance battle.

Location

Head-height roof underneath the overhanging arete of "The Invader."

Protection

Two pads or more and 4 quickdraws. There are probably several ways to deal with ropework, but stick-clipping the first 2 bolts, tying in at the start and using pads until you get to the start of the original route works well.
