Description:

Same start as Northwest Buttress (2' right of corner) A little more dicey at the crux than the standard route. Instead of going to the right over the chimney, go directly to the top though the slightly overhanging bulge. The arete is off, as is climbing too far right. Start 4' to the right of the corner for a variation with more difficulty at the beginning.

Found in Michael S. Hartman Version 1.2 January 8, 2012 guide. This is not in the Blue Biner Pa Guide 2011. Good route, felt increasingly hard from midpoint to top.
