Description 

Stand start with your left hand on a good sidepull and your right hand on a bad undercling or gastoned on a two pad edge. Puzzle together a way to get to the good shelf above. From there, continue upward angling either slightly left or right, depending on your preference.

You can also start this standing off the rock at left and reaching up to high holds on the arete. This makes the problem significantly easier (probably v3-ish?).

Location 

Located on the left side of the face visible from the road. Starts standing just right of an obvious flat rock.

Protection 

Several pads are useful due to the height of the problem as well as the potential for landing on the flat rock to the left. Having a spotter standing on the flat rock is ideal.
