The seam starts with two small sidepulls, which are used to gain a small sharp finger pocket.   Sort your feet and make tracks for a good pocket higher on the seam.

What remains isn't as hard as what went before, but you'll need a cool head to complete the tick.

Problem A

The starting move is the crux.  Make it sink the killer jam and the problem is all but over.

Finish up the wide groove above.

Start sitting underneath the arete.   Both hands start on the left side of the arete in good pockets.

Pull hard and reach up to pockets and holds on the arete, keep moving and your find good holds soon enough.

Start on the right next to a wide crack, and move up trending left to finish just right of the arete.

Climb up the steep wall via a good pocket to a reachy crux near the top.

A couple of hard moves on poor finger locks allows really good finger locks to be reached.   Follow the crack to the top.

Near the top there is a long reach for a good hold, which although easier can be scary.

A desperate problem.

Climb the steep face on very thin holds.   The first crux is at 1/3 height, with another V6 crux very close to the top.

Climb the left arete.   The problem starts with a hard pull on the right to gain better holds up left.

Climb the nicely pocketed wall directly.

A sustained problem.

Climb directly up the face on good pockets.

Climb the hand crack until possible to step up onto a ledge.   Finish by climbing the wide groove above.

Climb the slanting crack on improving jams to the top.

This problem eases after half height, when the finger pockets and footholds improve.

The start is tricky for the grade.

This is a direct start to

Problem L

.

From a sit start climb directly using small crimps to join the ramp above half height.

Climb the steep wall on small but positive pockets, until near the top.   The crux is up high, and is powerful crimpy climbing.

It is hard to not touch the back wall with your back up high, but resist the temptation to get the tick.

Start around the left side of the arete, and move up for a long reach at mid height.

With the crux moves done continue on up to the top on improving holds.

Start by climbing the right slanting ramp for 5 feet.   When possible move out onto the wall and climb it via small incut pockets.

Sit start with left hand on a small sidepull and right in a horizontal slot.   Pull on then make a couple of hard pulls to gain the regular problem's starting holds.

The sit starts makes the crux of the regular problem feel that much harder.

Start low, and make a move up to gain a good hold.  From there easily progress up the left edge.
