Description:
Start to the right of the steeper direct start, around a corner a few feet. Keep moveing up and left until you reach the nice vertical hand crack. Belay just under the obvious wide crack. Climb mostly on the face avoiding the O.W. crack where possible past a fixed pin. When the crack changes direction and starts to head right, traverse on large dikes around the arete and up moderate face climbing. Belay in the crack or just barely run it to the top on a 60m rope (Literally 0 feet to spare) Nice route.

Second ascent by:
Bomber
We lead up to the set of bolts to do some top roping. I followed this route and found it exposed but with relatively solid bomber holds most of the way and the protection looked pretty positive until just before the bolts where you have to traverse over a bit to the left. We found the right most bolt a little sketchy - so we backed up our TR in the crack up to the right of the bolts. Bolts provide access to two or three great TRs - and from the bolts there's a sketchy traverse to another set of bolts to the left enabling a TR of a 12a with an absolutely exceptional 11d bouldering start.

Finally got on this one
I've gone to other routes 3 times due to the line up on this one. It was good to link this with Corrugation Corner, but something better done on a week day when the numbers of people at the crag are down.
