Description:
Great route right of Hair City that takes the obvious crack going up and right. P1 ends at a fixed anchor on the W Arete route from here rap to the base or continue to the top of the Giant Flake. Last pitch is a long one taking the roof/crack right of the 3rd Hair City pitch. Best if ya do the .11a start taking the thin crack at the base. Other variations include going straight up (instead of pulling left) at the crux on P1(one move .11b).

OK
This route feels pretty wild; I like West Buttress or Hair City better, though.
