Description

Start sitting on the rock at the base with the left hand on a good flake (which is the starting hold for 'Purity (Right Variation)') and the right hand on a small crimp on the arete at the same level. Use a small intermediate crimp to gain the good edge above. Top out slightly to the left on good holds.

Not the best line but it provides another option in the area. The tiered landing makes this line slightly more intimidating than the height would suggest so it can be helpful to have a couple pads and possibly a spotter.

Location

This problem is located on the 'Purity' boulder and starts just right of 'Purity (Right Variation)'.

Protection

Two pads are probably ideal.
