Start up Lazy Groove, at the top of the corner go direct up the headwall on a mixture of jugs and slopers. Best pitch on the crag?

βeta: Excellent route, agree with the quality, grade (E1 5b) and is certainly the best line. There is a possibility that it might have been done before as the 1996 Chatsworth guide in describing Hazy Groove says "the detour to the ledge can be avoided at a slightly higher grade by climbing straight up from the groove." However, given the routes quality and difficulty compared to Hazy Groove this seem less likely that this route is the same thing as I would have thought it would have been claimed as a independant direct finish at the time.
