Stem to the left of a column, pull a small bulge, then head straight up a groove with good holds, pulling a small roof above a dihedral then trending left with restful stances until finally going right around a bulge at the top when you lose sight of your next bolt.  Cut back left on top of the bulge for the anchors.

Gentle-angle smearing in a shallow, wide chimney steepens to a left-facing dihedral and two large overhanging blocks, one atop the other.  Getting atop the first block and then out onto the right face comprises the crux.

The top bolt is placed in a large very detached block that looks ready to go.  The block's detachment is not obvious from below.  Consider bringing a long sling or mid-sized cam to place in lieu of clipping this bolt.  This block is the cause for the 'X' rating.

This climb is the access for a 5.12+? project.
