Description 

Way finger intensive but classic.

Up onto the flake and lieback it up then head right and onto the traverse. Easy stuff leads to the blunt arete, round this (last great hold for a while) and into the crux section of fingery holds across, with polished footholds to better holds higher up and essentially a handrail to finish.

Location 

Low on the north side, underneath a lieback flake.

Protection 

Pad and spotter if starting from the bottom and heading up the flake.
