MapDescription
The H links the cruxes of both Chiaroscuro and Brinton's Direct.
Start on Chiaroscuro and climb up the steep, thin wall, past the undercling crux to the point where the Brinton's traverse cuts across the wall. From here, move left (effectively reversing the traverse) to the rectangular niche. It is possible to find an average rest here.
Now, launch into the upper crux of Brinton's Direct. The climbing here is quite pumpy and tricky, and with the pump gained from the lower climbing, certainly feels 5.10.
This link up is quite sustained and is the hardest way up this face.
Protection
None on Chiaroscuro. The Brinton's Direct part protects fairly well.
