Description:

Boulder up the slick black rock, at the right edge of the cave, to a good stance in the left-leaning V-groove/crack 3m up. Continue up the groove past the pin and over the overhanging block, to the alcove. To make a good pitch, traverse left under the overhanging rock and continue up the obvious crack with good holds and pro (Arrow, 14).

Very commiting start, with no pro for the the first 3 meters, which is the crux and too damned sketchy to "only" be a 12, IMO. Connected with with Arrow, a really fun varied route/pitch. Watch out for rope drag at the traverse left though.
