Description:
On the beautiful wall opposite Golden Dream. Go up to the top of the flake, and up whatever way you can. If you can reach up to the horizontal cracks this climb is no harder than 5.6. If you have to use intermediate holds, it's much harder - feet and hand holds are sparse and small. Beautiful balancey climb. If you can't make the reach, I'd call it a +8ish.

A heck of a crux
I'm 5'6", so I don't think height was a factor for me. The toughest part (aside from the teeny tiny fingernail holds you're working with) was about 3/4 of the way up, traversing left with just nothing for feet. I spent some time sitting in the harness and I'd like to have another go at this one.

Don't trust the stuck nut (as booty, looks fine to clip), everyone tried to get that one out.
