Start low and climb the steep wall on good sized pockets.   The pockets are awkward at the start, but improve as you go higher and the climbing gets steeper.

pull right on a couple of positive sidepulls.   Now reach up to a small pocket, and pull through on poor holds to better holds above a small slab.

Finish above the slab directly.

Use creative body positioning to sit start on two pockets next to each other. Make big moves on holds that get easier the higher you go. Mantle into the scoop.

Perhaps the best "hard" line on the Sherwin Plateau.  The rock at the start is amazing, but becomes crustier the higher you go.  Nevertheless, the full climb is a great stamina test.  The stand at the arete is a nice V7, while the sds adds a bit.

.   At the matching crimp step up and fire up and left to a small sharp crimp.   Pull hard and continue direct into the funnel above.

Hard and technical climbing.

Start standing, and gain two good side pulls via some hard pulls on thin flakes.   Continue up and left via better pockets, to reach a good hold on the lip.   Continue up and over the lip on crunchy holds.

A sit start can also be done at about a grade harder.
