Description
Begin just left of the Fetus and make a step-across move/dyno to gain a ledge with the hands. Shorter people can easily stem off the boulder to reach the ledge. Hand traverse left to the 2nd bolt, then power over a bulge on crimps. The middle section has some enjoyable steep face climbing, with a 10b/c slab move above the fourth bolt.
[Update] Looks like a key hold has broken off at the crux above the second bolt, so this section is much harder now (5.11a/b/c), and it may take a few more ascents to achieve consensus on the new rating, but it's definitely harder than 5.10+.
If you're toproping, an easier variation is to hand traverse all the way left to the left end of the ledge, way past the 2nd bolt, then power over the bulge on crimps, (10+, height dependent), FA (TR) Matt Beebe and Jaime Camp 11/22.
