Description 

Stand start with a high left gaston and a high right undercling. Find a way to establish yourself on the wall and reach the only other feature on the wall: a gently curving right-facing sidepull. Pick a good spot on the sidepull, get a high foot, and fire to the lip.

Traverse the ledge to the right to get down.

Jimmy Webb climbed this from a lower start (matched on the undercling), giving it V9.

Location 

Just left of Tristar, in the same alcove as Dragon Lady in what the guidebook calls the Main Area.

Protection 

A pad or two and a spotter. The landing is perfect.
