Description:

On the wall by the downhill end of the large flat-topped boulder (which sits 15' from the wall) is a L-facing corner with a nice crack. Climb this (you pass an ancient piton) to an easy slab. Now traverse right, go around a corner, and then up through the large break in the summit headwall. With longer runners set appropriately this is easily done as one pitch (as opposed to the line described in Horst - the OW slot over there is a pain in the butt and you don't waste time breaking 100' of climbing into 2 pitches).
