Graffiti Traverse
Description
Sit start on a smooth block with a blue bonzai pine next to it. Traverse north using the lower sloper ledge and upper crimp ledge in the black streaks. Set up for a tensiony move to a good, right hand sidepull. Move your left hand to some crimps above the sidepull. Set up for a move to the knob on the arete. Top out straight up from here using holds on the face and the arete.
This has about 12-15 feet of traversing followed by an 8 foot topout.
