whilst out on a walk i happened along this problem. (looks stunning bonjoy).

the across bit looks hard but straight forward with toe hooks, but where and how does it go up at the end??
wanna get on it next weekend for the first time, and i dont want to walk all that way more than once!!

Straightforward eh? There is an obvious jug on the arete of the roof. You match that and then the crrux is getting up to the break. Tis indeed a good 'un.

 From matched on the obvious good hold at the end of the trav: RF toehook the right side of the prow, LF heehook left side of prow, RH up to first reasonable sloper on arete the bounce to second, LH to lower sloper on arete, RH to sloper/break above, LH match on sloper break, both feet off and RF to smear on the right side of the good handhold, LF heelhook highish up the left side of prow, RH to jug up and right, reach left and rock onto slab.
 Some tall types go straight from the good hold at the end of the trav to the sloper/break with RH, feet out right. I found this a bit too burly on the link, hence all the clamping and shuffling.
 You can also harvest this beta on winter sessions.

Tried this today in less than bon conditions.  Could get to the good hold on the arete, after much trouble, but didn't try the crux (?) move to the slopey edges.  Wish that I had read this thread before I went out.

I seem to remember a vid of andy earl on this problem.  Does anyone know where it is?
