Description:
The start is the crux with a sloper mantle move. Get a good spot or your butt will pay! After that it's sustained face friction with small knobs here and there.Descent Options:
Scramble to climber's right and use rap station atop Split Personality.

Ascent Note
Guidebook calls it 5.9. It felt sustained 5.9/10a to me. Another great route and definately worth doing.
