Description

This is a direct start to 'Fatal Flaw Left'. While not as cool as that line, this line does have the distinction of being uncontrived as it is the easiest line of travel from this start.  

Start standing with the right hand on a small extruding crimp knob at 7-7.5 feet and the left hand on a poor sloping knob at 5 feet. Pull left to gain the large sloping rail feature and then angle left to finish the same as 'Fatal Flaw Left'. Quite a bit less sustained than 'Fatal Flaw Left' and maybe not as fun, but the opening move is hard and the line flows well.

Location

Start standing directly below the finish of 'Fatal Flaw' and down and to the right of the obvious sloping rail that is the dominant feature of this wall.

Protection

A few pads are useful due to the traversing nature of the line.
