Start 2m left of the "Semi Retirement" corner. Unprotected boulder start gets you on top of block. Nice flakes past 2 carrots to undercling and a vertical crack. Fingerlock seam to gain good hold and large side pull. Move upward to a square cut block and mantle onto it. Balancey moves to get onto slopey ramp and some small wires. Head slightly left with some fridge hugging and subtle footwork to gain double ringbolt loweroffs. DRB Don't use crack on right (Semi Retirement)
