Description:
A worthwhile link up combining several parts of existing routes. This exciting route weaves its way through roofs to top out at a moderate grade. Start as for Hounds on the right of a detached block. p. 1 (5.8, 90 feet) Chimney up the block to a stance. Step across to the wall, passing a small roof (crux). Move up a colorful open book until progress is impeded by a roof. Traverse right to a nose, then step right into the corner of Fat Stick. Climb easily to near its top and exit right. Continue up a short layback crack to a small but comfortable stance in an alcove under a roof. p. 2 (5.6, 70 feet) Make the exciting hand traverse right using the excellent horizontal. Once on the arete move up to join Yellow Ridge to the top.Descent Options:
Walk off to the climber's right

This excellent link up stayed under my radar for too long, just swapped leads on it with rc user ambler. The second pitch is definitely the highlight.
