Description
This is a "link-up," but in a way, it's kind of the logical line on the middle left side of the wall. Climb to bolt 5 on Reservoir Dogs, but then instead of punching left to the jug, set up on crimps to make a strenuous rightward traverse into the crack/seam features above the bottom cruxes of Aquadarius. Snag some better holds, clip a sixth bolt (blue fixed draw) out left, and do your best to recover before launching into the top half of Aquadarius, where you'll need to keep recovering along the way in order to not punt off the exit. It has very resistant climbing.
Here's a video of the first ascent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7aq2jO-Wio (note that repeat ascents have been climbing slightly left of the envisioned line, making the boulder problem passing bolt three easier; in this video, you can see the more "straight up" sequence just past the one-minute mark.).
