Description
Stem across the chasm, clip a bashie and then pull into a lieback/undercling to clip a bolt. Move up past a large, semi-solid blob of rock, clip the second bolt (1/4") and make delicate stemming moves to mantle awkwardly onto the blob (crux). Once established at the last bolt traverse right (hint - stay low) to gain the base of a steep, featured crack which is followed to the top.
It's possible to climb straight up past the last bolt and join the crack higher, where it jogs slightly left. Done this way it's a little spicier, but safe, and seems more like 5.11a.
This route packs a lot of good climbing into a small package and it's steeper than appearances might suggest.
