Description:
Not too sure but this is a one move wonder (maybe three moves) to the left of the Marks Moderate. The crux is above the second bolt and has a powerful undercling with a big move to good holds. Beyond this is easy climbing to the anchors.

I'll be back for the red point
TRd after climbing lower arete. Tried direct start but was too much for my abiliites. Then I approached from the arete at some jugs close to the first bolt. I was sustained but fun.

Classic
Did this by using the big jug above the first clip on the arête then down-climbing and traversing to the left to the second bolt. I've done this route twice, first time I exited left of the 3rd bolt using the good right hand pinch and pretty much joining the finish of Swallow My Pride. The second time I finished the route by staying true to the bolt line. I exited directly above the 3rd bolt avoiding going left to Swallow My Pride and used a thin not too obvious right-hand undercling slightly left of the 3rd bolt and did a big left-hand throw directly above the same clip. Felt this finishing variation was a lot harder and feel comfortable calling it 12a. I think the direct start, Kill Uncle with the latter finish would definitely be 12c and probably the hardest climb at the crag.

excellent rock
I started using this as part of my workout. A good route, hard feet, good hands. I approach after at second bolt. If one approaches at the first bolt it is probably 12 A
