Description 

Start in same spot as you start Heelhooks, on the lower section of the angling ledge. Go right hand straight up to a crimp a little below the white crystal band. Choose from a few small intermediates for your left hand, then slap way out left to a sloping hold on the arete. Once you hit the sloper, bump your left up to a good hold a few inches higher. Get your feet up, then move with your right hand to a good hold at the apex of the arete. Move up and right to topout. Requires some unique body positioning and footwork, which makes it pretty fun.

Alternately, you can skip the arete, and from the small left hand intermediate, throw left hand to the good hold at the apex of the arete.

Location 

In the Cave area, starts as Heelhooks, but moves left.

Protection 

Multiple pads and a spotter, the landing is kinda bad.
