Description:
Splits off of Corsicane Bro's start and goes straight up to the point that's Higher than CB's anchors. (Now CB has an alternate finish up there, still at 10a.) The grade of Higher is VERY HEIGHT DEPENDENT and ranges from about 5.11b to 5.12a or more. Every inch of reach counts on this one. A 6'6" guy might think it's mid 10. 11b seems like a better floor for most of the taller population. Annette (5.5 + 2" ape?) felt 12a. The shorter you are to that, the more it will head towards 5.16.

guarded this FA with Climb Tech technology
I applied for this line mainly to add a fun extension to Corsican Brothers. CB's low anchors are likely because Bird didn't like the looks of the clifftop arete. I checked all around it, seeing good support between the various crack lines.
The new lead route proved to have a lively crux and the pump remained through the finish, so it came out better than expected. Do it in pure spirit, ignoring the grade because the height dependency leaves the grade meaningless. But this database requires a grade. 5.11b-or-less-to-5.12a-or-more.
I sent it the first session after bolting but hadn't expected it to go down that fast. So instead of untrustworthy redtagging to guard the FA, I'd left several holes without bolts, came back, inserted Climb Tech removable bolts, and sent it.
Beta spoiler: high left foot, fight to reach obvious left finger sloper, bump it a little higher, deadpoint the obvious shelf.
