Description:
(5.11d) Climb the blank-looking bulge. Interesting finesse moves start up the left side of a quasi-prowl before crossing back to the right side of the prowl to an obvious jug, and a good rest stance beneath said bulge. Tend leftward, using minimal pockets (crux) to reach better holds, and pull above the bulge, and much easier climbing to the belay. Variation (5.11a): From the good rest stance beneath the bulge, tend right just a tad to gain height, and pull back left when the chance affords. This variation will pull you away from the bolt for a moment or two, which will likely be scary, and probably a good reason to persevere with the original line rather than cheating-up the line of least resistance.
