Fun, slabby face climbing that’s harder than it looks. Pretty good for how short it is.

Climb a vertical face past a bolt to a no hands rest. Gear is possible between bolts 1&2, but the climbing is easy (I just ran it out). At the 2nd bolt, either move right and pull through a bulge/roof (likely the better option for fall potential) or climb up and left on a technical face. Both end up around the same difficulty. Continue up past another bolt to a follow a black dike feature that trends up and staying slightly left with some good holds in the weaknesses to a final bolt. Make a few more moves out hard right on a rail to the chains.

This route shares anchors with "Professor Quirrell’s Tamborine" which climbs past bolts further right on the arete.

I might be biased, but I think this route is really good. The rock is really high quality and has some cool features. Climb up good edges right of a dihedral. The route then trends up and slightly left where things get interesting. It tops out over the lip at a two bolt anchor out of sight.
