Description:
Start: On the arête to the right of Airy Aria. Pitch 1: Climb the arête and crack to the Airy Aria belay ledge (5.8+) (rap bolts & chains). Pitch 2: Climb the corner to the overhang. Work straight up to a creative no-hands stance below the next overhang. Traverse left about 8 ft. and climb the overhangs past two bolts. Diagonal up right to the huge roof (optional hanging belay). Traverse left about 10 ft. and work up to a scrunched position below the next roof. Traverse right to the nose (harder if taller) and up to the top (5.11a). As of 7/9/2015, the old manky bolt has been replaced with a new one.

Great route but use double ropes
If you have doubles it's much easier to string the pitches above P1 together. I had to break up the climb into 4 short pitches. The climbing past the bolts is just as hard as the roof IMO. Offset aliens were really helpful as well.
