Description
This is a reasonable climb that would improve with traffic. The moves are awkward, but in a good way.
Get to the base of the route on way or another and climb to surmount an appliance-sized chockstone in the corner, between a spike of rock and the corner itself. From a stance on this, climb past a brief section where the crack in the corner is closed to both jamming and protection, (first crux) with feet on the slab on the left. After a few moves, you reach a good jam and good protection. Continue up on the corner with slabby feel on the left and a juggy flake and crack on the right side of the dihedral to a rock that caps it. Turn up and right at the big rock and head towards a small tree (second crux) and the bolted anchor and rap as for this route and Arch Of Titus.
A 70m rope will get you within feet of the base, on a good ledge with a walk off, just left of the start of Arch Of Titus.

Location
This is the left-most route on the wall, ascending a left-facing corner. The base can be reached via the rap from The Arch Of Titus (going left around the arete on the way down) or via a bushy scramble.
