Description Suggest change

From the lower left side of the Transformer Ledge, use the same start as Deceticon. Stick clip the first bolt which is just a foot or so on the left side of the arete and directly below the large upper dihedral. Boulder up into a side pull flake to get started off the ledge, pass the second bolt of Decepticon and then start working left into the base of the left facing corner system above. Using an assortment of cams ranging from micro to medium/large, stem up the huge but moderate dihedral and lean back a little at the end for a fun exit.
There is also a direct start which ascends the slab face just left of the typical 4th class ascent to the Transformer Ledge. It doesn't add any difficultly but adds some extra technical climbing if you want to extend the route and is pretty fun.

Location Suggest change

Climbs up the large black, left facing dihedral on the left side of The Fin.
On the right side of The Fin, boulder up to the ledge at 25'. The route starts on the lower left side of the ledge and just barely on the left side of the arete.

Protection Suggest change

Mostlty traditional. Cams of all sizes including micros and a couple medium to large nuts at the top are useful but not mandatory.
