Essentially a two-mover, this short arete problem starts on two high crimps. Make a neat one-two combo onto the grippy lip to find yourself on top of the boulder.

Start with the high, horizontal crimp/incut feature. Pull on, slap to some sloping edges and press out the cruxy mantle. Pretty good climbing for such an unassuming line.

Start sitting with just your left hand in a slot, than stand up to make span-dependent move to the sloping lip, then mantle. The foothold rail is very low to the ground. A very odd climb.

Sit start on two low opposing sidepulls, make a big stab up to a pinch, then tech your way up to the top. You can either go straight up and rockover, or  you can traverse left and make a big move up to a sloping edge to mantle. First move is the physical crux. Great climb!
