Description
Avoid the easier holds of the route next to this one, by staying to the left of the red line shown in one picture. With the dirt and unclear features on this side, this means taking some time to look for good feet. Mantling without cheating too far left or right is perhaps a first crux. Once at the ledge
do not
cheat by stepping back to gain extra height. You must start close to the wall - this feels like a second crux. After getting up a little bit from the ledge, the finish is then basically the same as the adjacent route.
I'd strongly suggest this one just be TR'd since the top is so accessible here, but I suppose it's also straightforward to lead the easier route then continue to follow with this one. If actually leading this one, it might be PG13 considering you'll be much further from the first hanger than with the easy neighbor route.
Definitely
clip into the second hanger before actually resuming the ascent there.
Protection
Two hangers on face, multiple hangers on top for easy TR anchors.
