Description:
The obvious squeeze roof problem over a bad landing. Start low and chimmney you way up into a rapidly narrowing squeeze chimmney. Get a good heel toe then reach up high for a fist jam. Bring those feet way up and reach your left hand out for the arete. Release the fist and grab the sloaper, pull up, place a knee on the face and reach for the horizontal crack. Now mantel to the top. Much much harder than it sounds. Not recomended with shorts and a tee shirt. Good luck...

Offwidth
You can climb around this offwidth by launching off the slab to the left of the crack, liebacking through the offwidth and strait through to the easy stuff making it much easier, but that's not the point. To claim a ture accent, you have to sit start in the chimney and grovel your way up and out of it. Any other way would be, not climbing the Offwidth.
Drunkenmasters variation is worth a go too. Burly lieback over a chopping block... good stuff.
