Description
Start on a large left hand side pull and move up and right onto the arete. Move left to the base of the column and top out on good edges.
Protection
A top rope anchor can be set up using the glue-in bolts at the top.
On lead, a poor sling placement can be made around the little rock horn on the arete. Above that, a much better micronut placement is found at the top of the flake. The last few moves of the climb are the easiest but a fall from here could land you on the ground, even if the micronut holds. The belayer should be ready to jump down, in order to remove slack, if the leader takes a fall.
