Ascend wall in front of sycamore directly past two pegs. Traverse leftwards briefly before moving directly up to stand on the two obvious holds beneath a small roof. From the slab, arrange a nest of small and smaller wires before crossing roof to a ledge system (peg). Ascend the final wall through a gap in the top roof (hard-to-spot peg). Two peg belay.
