Starts a little left of the approach trail from Smiling Simian. Follows one of the more obvious features up the wall. A little runout at the P1 crux.

4 out of 5 stars runout

Don't get on this one unless you are solid at 5.10. There is probably a 5.9 passage through the maze, but you need 5.12 endurance to find it.
You can definitely hurt yourself if you fall at the crux.
