Description Suggest change

One of three face and crack pitches on the south side of the middle tier of the second flatiron.This is the leftmost line, which begins 20' downhill from some large pine trees.The first half of this pitch sucks and the second half is really fun. The start is unobvious and rather scary. Begin up some broken plates and make an unprotected 5.9ish move to gain a thin right facing dihedral 25' off the ground. Place a small cam and move to the ramp above. Follow this up and left to a good hand crack with a right arching cap. Move right and up to a nice ledge with a hidden piton. Continue up and right following a thin diagonal crack (crux). Belay once the east face is reached.There is a bolted line that goes straight up after the piton is reached, but the diagonal crack is the best part of the route. The "s" is for the initial 30'.The topo in the Rossiter guide is good, but makes no mention of the committing run out at the beginning and shows two bolts that to the best of my knowledge do not exist.
