2 pitches. Steady first pitch wandering up the rib to belay on the slab below the overlap. From belay climb up left to spike(s), then back right into a niche. Next moves bring you to the crux. Peg has now gone and gear is behind a "stuck" block which makes the technical crux feel serious. Bridge/crank up to a ledge and then to good holds and gear. The rest sheer joy (exposed) ... up ramp to its end, step up and RT around rib, to gain a slab, step up and RT again to gain an easy (initially loose) groove, which leads to the Sunset ledge.
