Description:
Great line left of the large left-facing dihedral. Edge up thin slab past 2 bolts to a left-diagonalling crack. Hand traverse left then work up right on thin face climbing past 2 more bolts to 2-bolt anchor. Go right at last bolt for an easier finish.

Ascent Note
REALLY HARD!! Climb up the easy rock to the first bolt - you can barely reach it from a good stance (at least for me standing 5'6" tall). Not sure if I was off-route or not, but it seems there's NO way to climb directly up, it's a featureless wall. Instead, I went right to an obvious crack and work up and left where it widens to fists. Reach far left and down some to clip the second bolt. Continue to work the crack to the left using an undercling open-hand friction type deal. Work left under the 3rd bolt above to a small nose in the crack. Surmount this and reach far to the right to clip. Crux is going to the 4th bolt. Edge up the left side on a sick-thin crack and nothing edges and reach far right to clip the 4th bolt. Finish on slightly easier rock to the summit anchors.
