Description 

This route is crap for two reasons:
1) It's almost the same exact route as Leienfelser Verschneidung, just starts and ends differently.
2) The bolts were removed, essentially making it dangerous and impossible to know really what the first ascentionist intended.
You can of course still do it, but be comfortable onsighting 5.10 first. The only moderately difficult part is the overhang at the top - you go straight through it.

Location 

Start on the block to the right of the beginning of Leienfelser Verschneidung, clip the second bolt of that route and follow it up to the 4th (sling it long to minimize drag), then fire through the unprotected crux (overhang).

Protection 

3 bolts + 1 sling + anchor
