A tough little thing!
Start on the far left end of the downhill facing, overhanging boulder.
Stand-start on a side-pull lefthand on the left side of the boulder's face and a righthand on the top sloper on the front lip of the boulder.

Commence a grueling series of moves linking into a lower rail, shifting into a toehook. Follow the front end of the boulder up and right to the knobby top out.
