Cruxy Houdini corner. Stretch your hips! After corner climb the slab, cross the small stream (don´t slip) and the anchor is on the right. (no rings, only hangers). Skip this anchor when rappeling from the top and use the anchor of Houdini corner pitch.

Clip the first bolt and do an "Elvis leg" move (you won´t believe it´s only "17"), rest is a nice slab with interesting end :)
