Use solid friction and mantel technique to establish a good stance on top of a sloping shelf. Additional slab moves will yield another stance just before the crux; jam your toes into the water runnel and hope your rubber sticks. Just gotta believe!

Friction Slab

The Way of the Leaf

Start around the arete from Bulldog on a good hold. Move up through some decent holds and a right gaston to a mossy top out.

sit start on shallow pockets, goes to the right and up the arete utilizing pinchs and slopers.

Cruise up the slab, passing a few shallow pockets higher up, then top out.

Step around the right side of the boulder just slightly downhill. Discern a reasonable plumb line from about halfway up the low angle arete to the ground. Climb straight up, intersect the arete/slab and follow it to the summit. The topout is very highball and committing due to the ground dropping away as you traverse right. Downclimb the 5.6 friction face to the left or the chimney.
