Description
Start in a small alcove on the left (north) side of the Central Buttress.
P1: (~80 feet, 5.10-). Climb a prominent wide crack using face holds on the left and a few wide(ish) moves to gain the easier, left-facing corner above. Follow this to a small roof, and step right onto the arete where a short, left-arching crack leads to a 2 bolt anchor with chains.
P2: (~80 feet, 5.10-). Climb the short arete past a bolt and thin gear to merge into Rossiter's Central Buttress Left Variation where the crux is a step-across from one left-facing dihedral to the final left-facing dihedral leading to the 2 bolt anchor (with chains) shared with Grand Central.
