Aerial Chariot Direct

As the name suggests, this ascends directly up the beautifully featured face from the start of Aerial Chariot, staying off of the incut side-pull rail over to the left (that’s for Aerial Chariot). The crux involves either a dead point to a bad sloping crimp, or a big dynamic move (exciting, considering the position) to a slopey pinch/knob. The climbing eases substantially from there, as you follow jugs to the same finish as Aerial Chariot.
