Description:
Left slanting offwidth to start, then just above a bolt, make the scary traverse out right to the arete past some huge knobs. Extra wild if manteling huge knobs is not your thing. Then steep climbing up a thin crack until the anchor at a slung block, before that same crack widens to the top. Very unique and varied climb. Although not runout, you need to have nerve to lead this comfortably.Descent Options:
Two ropes to get to the ground from the slung block rappel anchor. Also possible to rap from there to ground with one 70 m rope. Also possible to rap with one 60 or 50 m rope to the rap anchor atop Burst of Brilliance first, then another rap to the gro

Long single pitch, well worth it. The crack to face transition puts your mind in an interesting place.

Knobs
The enormous knobs are awesome for problem solving! I got pretty pumped on this route due to me taking a while to figure out how to get past the crux. Great route altogether though and pretty perfect for the grade!
