Description Suggest change

A nice long mixed route that adds to the craging area of the Ethyl Wall on Khayyam. Beginning in the small corridor between Khayyam and Balcony Point, follow bolts and a thin seam up the South buttress of Balcony point. While climbing on scoops and crimps, find gear in between bolts 2 and 3. Continue to the bolt protected crux at the "lip" before it slabs out a bit. Trend right following more bolts into a short corner where another piece may be placed. Step left after two more bolts and finish up the crack/chute. Continue for another 2 pitches (5.9?) up the long exposed buttress if you'd like. The final 3rd pitch we took went up a fun, but short, finger crack.
