Description

This climb obviously is bolted left of the easiest climbing to avoid squeezing the Chaitanya crack. It's no classic and yes you will meander if you take the easiest path, but it offers fun and techy climbing as well as another lead route on the wall. You can also stay left of the bolts and lead it at 5.11 or so if you want. (I bolted it with that possibility in mind).Clip 2 bolts through a steep start, escape right into the corner briefly, then work back left to clip the hard-to see 3rd bolt (sorry) before continuing leftward on low angle wavy slabs. Tiptoe left onto the overhung face up top to make steep moves on great holds to punch out a sporty finish ending on the huge ledge. 

Location

Start as if for Chaitanya, but clip 9 bolts leading leftward up the ramp, then eventually the overhung face above, to end on the huge ledge.

Protection

9 bolts
