Pitch 1: Climb the lieback flake in the left facing corner formed by the exfoliation slab.

Pitch 2: Do the opening moves of the second pitch of

Disco Jesus

(11b). Follow the arch left via thin underclinging and face climbing (11d). Clip a bolt and make moves (11b) left and then up into the 10a corner. Belay at the top of the corner.

It is possible to do the last pitch of
