Piton Variation

Description

Climb Ripper up to the ledge, and up and right you will see a clean dihedral with an old piton. Work up to the piton, and clip it, and then do a heel-hook and throw to the good jug. Make sure your partner has you on a pretty tight belay to make sure you don't hit the ledge below.

Protection

one piton. You can sneak in a blind medium offset nut if you know exactly where to place it while reaching above the crux. Or just climb up Full Jack, which easily protects.
