Description:
From the top of the trail, head left past several bolted lines. This is the route furthest left on this wall. Locate the sculpted scoop/groove feature on the left side of an attractive wall. Go big at the 3rd bolt and ponder the balancy crux above. Reach left around the arete for a sloper and a hidden pocket or crimp and edge straight up the groove to bigger and better holds.

Moves that make you think.
I think the grade and crux location are somewhat height-dependent. The scariest thing was clipping the 3rd or 4th (?) bolt b/c I could not reach if while holding the arete.
