This beautiful line is one you should not pass up!  Very rarely can you climb steep, pumpy, overhanging granite jugs with incredible exposure.  

 This route goes directly up the NW arete.  Begin in the quartz water chute and climb past a high first bolt and some shallow finger-sized gear to gain the horizontal.  Follow the next few bolts to reach the base of the prominent flake, home to a few baby pigeons learning a new skill...  Place a few pieces and prepare to fire through the crux. At the sixth and final bolt continue straight up and follow the flake to the summit.
