Description:
A fun, but overlooked route to the right of Comatose, just right of Bunky's Rest Day. Slab it up to a open book. Stem the book to a right-facing dihedral. Follow this to a small overhang. Possible belay here. Navigate the overhang and step left to a beautiful, but short finger crack. Another possible belay here. Slab it up direct (5.9ish) clipping a bolt or out to the right (easier) and then up to a flake/overlap. Here the two routes diverge. Beeline takes a weakness in the flake and continues up a low angle face. Praying Mantis heads left out the flake system to some stacked features and an overhanging finish (9ish).

Fun again.
Did the direct (bolted) variation to the Beeline finish, all in one pitch. Had some rope drag at the bolted crux and above.
