Start with some easy scrambling (protected by a bolt) to a ledge from which you can clip the first two bolts. Work up into the dihedral and you'll quickly find the first crux. Pull a few more hard moves and you'll get a nice jug to gather yourself for the second crux on smaller crimps as you start to trend right to the final rest about halfway through the traverse. Get your heart rate down for the final exciting moves to the chains. As the guidebook puts it: "We're desperate, get used to it." - X lyric.

See directions for getting to The Red Corners. The route starts in the left facing dihedral, pulls onto the arete and then traverses to the right to share anchors with The Book of Condolences.
