Description 

Start on a large flat rock, move up to the flaring slot. Where a large crack cuts under the bulge and heads right, continue straight up the seam.

Location 

On the prow of the buttress that defines the left-hand side of the Bandshell.

Protection 

This route might actually deserve an "X". Small gear to about 1 inch. The middle portion of the route may or may not be protectable.
