Description 

As the name implies, this is a short variation of Out To Lunge, and it is pretty sweet....

Follow the first pitch of Out To Lunge to the triangular roof. Start the leftward traverse, but after a few feet, pull through the roof diagonaling up and right staying 6-10 feet left of the route on the right (New Chautauqua). Continue up a short slab. Pull over a bulge and then onwards to the walk-off ledge. If the gear is a bit puzzling at the roof crux, you could complete the leftward traverse, place gear, and then come back to pull the roof.
With shorter wingspan, the rating could be a bit harder, maybe 5.10a-.
