Rockfax Description
Follow Dictator to the ledges under the crack. Move 2m right round a shallow rib and climb the wall to small overhangs. Move left to a small right-facing corner which is followed to the top. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
This route is to the left of Organ grinder, and shares a start with Temporary truce (VS 4c). Climb to the low ledge, then move up and left on rock with few features. Follow a thin crack up until a you are both a few meters below (and to the left of) the obvious overhang at the top of the route. Here, you deviate from the line of Dictator (HVS 5a, which continues straight up), by stepping right around the arete, and ascending the slight overhang.

Note: This route is believed to be either a very soft E1 or High HVS, with good gear all the way
