Fun one move wonder near Porcelain. Start on bad hands and a bad foot and make a long move to a not great hold. From there, hit the jug and top out

Particle Man

Porcelain

Route shares boulder with Needle to the Vein. Start with right hand in the seam and left on the arete. Go up.

 

Sit start on crimps, move up to sloppers then high step and pull for top. Good diversity for a short problem.

Sit start matched on a flat jug, make big moves left onto crimps and use tricky beta to move around the blunt arete.  Reach up and grab a hold that forms the corner with the porcelain slab and top out, it is a little spooky near the top.

Use flakes and crimps to move up this short slab.

A beautiful problem and a slab lovers dream. Climb straight up center of face on delicate holds.  Fantastic!
