[Hide Comment] There is another good line that shares the same start as Matter of Time and Matter of Convenience. Move up to the edge under the overhanging flake, then traverse left along the crack, and finish in the little notch between the overhangs. I didn't end up topping out cause it was pretty dirty and I was too lazy to go up to clean it off. Maybe V2, unless the topout is really hard.

EDIT: The topout is really hard. May only go as a drop-off problem. Apr 14, 2022
