Climb up a left leaning ramp until you have to move onto the face and up along the ridge set up a trad belay to bring up the second scramble from here out.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing.

Bizzare and tricky start to get off the ground. After that, its 3 pitches of awesome. Nice exposure, even for 5.1. (I'm increasing the grade by a number to account for the difficult start).
