A bit dicey moving into the dihedral. You have to make an awkward jam over a hollow flake to get into the dihedral. A short finger crack leads to bomber hand jams.
McNamara claims the FA in 03, but I doubt that's the case judging by the pin scars up the thing. Lots of hard climbers playing around on those cliffs for decades...
