Description
Crux is first 1-3 moves, a second physical crux moving above the overhang.
Start at sloping side pull on the right and a tight pinch at the left, check for feet -- they are there. Get to the beautiful hand pocket and marvel at yourself. Work up the crack, then reach high above the overhang into a horizontal crack, then again high and deep into a triangular platform. The dirty slab is optional, but adds even more depth to a brilliant climb.
