The vague corner system left of Rubber Band Man. Two distinct pitches.
Start as for Rubber Band Man, up the scruffy wall and slab. Above the second bolt, track left into the groove via a devious sequence. Steady climbing then leads to a sloper crux just above the last bolt.
From the belay ledge, scramble up to the base of the obvious corner. Small gear (wires, sliders) and technical stemming leads to a big flake at half height. From here, the crux and 3 bolts of yet more technical stemming awaits.
