Access Banned

The landowner isn't interested in having climbers on his land. Access is periodically challenged by the access rep.

20m. Right of the white streak and a crack line with an overhanging wall to it's right.
Start below the roof at mid height and climb the wall to gain an overhanging arete. Pull directly up this (crux) - (and not the wall to the right!) to gain better holds below the roof and then pass this on the left then continue up the slab to reach the belay.

βeta: Very eliminate...and a bit fragile... snapped off a small crimp “ close “ to the arête and then the break above disintegrated when I pulled on it. Also climbs nicely with a hold on the right wall but much easier than the prescribed method.
