Description 

This is a very worthy variation to the first pitch of Genesis. Start by climbing the first ~30' of Genesis, nearly up to the first fixed pin.

Bust right out of the dihedral, and step right to gain a thin seam. Climb the seam (poor pro) to where it peters out, then undercling right, and reach up to another thin crack.

Climb this crack (better pro) up to Le Boomerang, and then cross that route and pull up and left to rejoin Genesis.

Protection 

Light rack, include RPs.
