Description:
The previous start fell off, so start a bit to the left of the new roof and climb to the left up a somewhat dirty crack after clipping the bolt. Set a belay then it's awesome fingers to a stacks and up immaculate crack on the slightly overhanging wall.Descent Options:
an eighty meter rope will get you from the second anchors to the ledge. You can also continue to the top and walk off.

Great route
Not sure where to start? Started, then went left onto some holds that, though chalked, looked as if they might come off, then continued up to the ledge. The crack is _excellent_. Tech crux is short, but there is alot of post-crux pump on the way to top of pitch 2, particularly if one has not yet acclimated to the altitude.

also excellent
Bolt protected first pitch. But the route doesn't climb past the bolt (the bolt has to be high and off to one side to get into good rock) so if you're short, let your partner lead this one, as you won't be able to clip the bolt and you'll be facing a groundfall at the crux. TRonsighted both pitches, cleaning.

steep!
The crux for me was definitely endurance - I really wanted to weight the rope on the overhanging upper crack even though it was bomber hands.
