UKC

Takes a leftward trending line following the capped grooves on the arete between High Velocity and Shot in the Dark. Start 1 m left of high velocity and make a Sourcerer-esque move through the roof (avoiding the fairly obvious looser area on the left of the second break/ledge when pulling over). Move up to a horizontal gear slot and rest on High Velocity. Step back left (and down?) then move up through the last two roofs to flutings in the final arete via big then small holds (a cheval?). May well have been done before but we've put our ascent details below. Decent route and well protected. Can traverse in from the start of Shot in the Dark if you can't do the first reachy move.
