Short climb left of the Poo Pond slab over a small bulge - better than it looks.

Probably the best way to climb the Poo Pond slabs now is to do this pitch (on the left of the wall over an over lap) and the original Poo Pond Slab Pitch 2 directly above it.
Left most line on the slab. Step left at the 2nd bolt before stepping up over the overlap.

The original route started on the R of the face to the ledge then a 2nd pitch
above. Two pitches that probably deserve more traffic than they get.
