Another excellent sustained pitch. Low in the grade. Climbs through the right end of the roof by an obvious little niche just left of the crackline of Hajj. Climb the lower wall to the ledge, cross the roof at the apex of the niche and continue up the sustained wall to finish up a thin crack, as for Ronnie the Axe. Could be climbed in a big sea by starting from the ledge.

βeta: Climb up the shield (or adjacent corner) to a ledge right underneath the small prominent niche at the right hand end of the roof. Go directly up using crimps, then go left aiming for better holds, where the other E5 joins in. | βeta? | |
