Description 

This route is marked purple in the picture.

Sit start low in the cave, right next to a little, black boulder, on a flake that looks unstable but is tough as iron. (I've been starting with my right hand on the flake and my left on a sloper right next to the hold.)

Pull up and lock off hard with your right hand and move out to an awesome incut crimp, bump up and left to a better crimp. Throw a drop knee and shoot up into the crack above, a very low percentage move.

Continue to follow the the crack/seam up and right to the topout.

This route is an easier version of Blackhole....
Still it is a really fun problem.

Location 

This line is found about 20 ft. to the right of the project, next to a black boulder far underneath the overhang.
The starting hold is pretty umistakeable, since it's the only feasible starter.

It's the same start as Blackhole.

Protection 

A pad and a spotter.
