Description 

Climb leisurely past some reaches to good holds through the first 3 bolts until you arrive at a large undercling and the start of the crux. Bigger pulls to smaller holds through the 4th bolt will deposit you a a good horizontal and rest. Get back whatever you can because the next section past 3 pins is another 11+ crux topped by an airy mantle to the chains.

This route is a little dirty but has great movement throughout; so 2+ stars seems good.

Location 

Start just to the right of Hope. Look for 4 bolts that lead up to a pin-protected overhang. Only 2 of the 3 pins are visible from the ground. There is another pin in the left-facing corner that you clip from the horizontal after the crux.

Protection 

4 bolts, 3 pins; chain anchor.
