I started R hand in a cool pinch o the right side of the arete, left hand in small pocket-crimp on the arete. Moved up and left to join the slanting crack.

slanting crack

I started in a right hand gaston and a very cool left hand gas pocket in a mini hueco. Move up and follow the crack back left to top out. Lichenous.

A sit start that tacks on a few thin moves to gain the start holds of Jolly Roger. Starts with a decent left hand flat edge in the tan streak and a good low right hand. Cool temps are nice for this one...

I don't know if this is new but it's an ok warmup for Jolly Roger and kind of fun. So if you're going up there there are a couple of other things around.

Stand start on two opposing sidepull/underclings - make compression moves on incut crimps and finish on a delicate face on bomber rock. 

Start on the jug rail, move through some sloping nobs, then quest up the slab on fun chicken heads. Can also be done from the sit start. 

Awesome compression moves to a desperate toss to a good hold.
