Start as for Smear Test. At some point, head left then up to a good stance left of the Smear Test belay ledge. Punch upwards on good but very mossy holds then follow the line of bolts up and left to the top of the cliff. Getting down is a bit of a chore. It’s best to get your belayer to second the route then abseil down Hands Solo.
