Description 

A slightly harder, but less classic climb than it's neighbor, Comfortably Numb. It's not quite as classic, so you are unlikely to wait in any lines to climb this one. The difficulty is brief and low on the route, which can be reasonably protected.

Location 

This route lies about 7 meters left of the area classic, Comfortably Numb. Start at the left side of the same near-vertical face and go up that about 10 meters to a small ledge. Climb on some smaller holds (crux) to reach a jug and head up over that on a moderate crack system to the top. Descend as for Comfortable Numb.

Protection 

A standard light rack with a few long slings and a 60M rope.
