Description:
Start in the big dihedral at the right end of Amphitheater (same start as Single Handed Sailor). Climb the corner on the right face to the roof, traverse to exit right to a ledge, then continue up the featured face being careful of loose rock.

Interesting.
The back-sloped start is a bit rude for 5.7, very juggy soon, and then the curious crack. The middle part seemed too thin for feet to be where one would be placing pro. I traversed to the arete there, and on top-rope that is an optional variation. The crack becomes very narrow and sharp, too, so watch your fingers getting snagged if you fall. If it were easily anchored, this route would be quite popular, imo. The rings for 'Sailor' are an option for lowering off, btw, but with a lot of rope work.
