Description
This is route 2 on the beta photo. Find parallel discontinuous thin cracks that diagonal up and slightly left, splitting the face. This is a long established trad line that apparently doesn't see many ascents judging from the garden found thriving in it. Once eliminated however, the line went nicely at the grade. Thin edges accompany the cracks for delicate footwork while placing gear.
