Description

Follow the solid, left-trending crack with really solid handholds and sparse feet. The crack widens and tightens in multiple spots as you climb, but overall there are generally good holds. The top-out seems to be the crux but possibly just cause you've got less energy than when you started.

Location

Start at the intersection of all the cracks. Move left and out to the arete following the crack.

Protection

Small wires or cams. A toprope set up could be improved with a directional, but that is not recommended. With a lot of pads or a spotter to drag a couple pads as you climb, this can be done as a very fun, slightly heady boulder problem.
