Description:

Start same as for The Eye, but once onto the face on the right side of the big gully, continue veering up and right on that face to an upper arete with small roof. Go up left of the roof, or pull the roof above somewhat runout/sketchy pro. Continue up crack above to top. Variation start up the left-slanting slightly overhanging offwidth crack (5.9), which leads to the upper arete with small roof.

Descent Options:

Tunnel through the eye of Cyclops Rock and walk off down backside.
