Rockfax Description
A good line up the smooth wall right of the groove, generally on better holds than it looks. Cross a block (thread), move out to the arete, step back left then right before finishing direct. Small cams may be found useful. © Rockfax

βeta: Its not really a digonal line. You step off the starting block and then there's just one quick deviation out right, other than that its quite direct. Smalll friends are very useful for the 'standing up' section.
