From the belay step right, then up a left-leaning ramp. At the top of the ramp, ignore ring bolts out left, instead stepping right to a bolt hidden in a shallow scoop, then directly up the face above past two more bolts. Below the large roof above,traverse right past two bolts to a DBA on the arete.

did this route via the headwall. Its super scenic but very easy climb with big run-outs and moss and loose rocks. rappelled on the route with 2x60m ropes, bit weird with the traversing bit, but worked out OK
