Plenty of good holds and a fairly slabby face under your right foot. There is one small chip right on the arête near the top, just where you want it to be — but I think you should not trust it too much. Maybe you will think differently when you get there. It is in any case too useful to ignore completely. I would defer to those who know trap rock well.

 (I am rating the movement, which is uninteresting. The location and exposure are nice.)

Start from the crack then go right at or before the widening of that crack and finish on the arête.

 Really this is something of a copout, insofar as it almost completely avoids any crack climbing, depending on your height. The more obvious line would involve finishing via the wider crack at the top. I'm not confident or experienced enough with that width of crack, though, so I did not do this. Maybe that would make it harder.

Start in the crack, then go left from where it widens. There are some loose rocks stuck* in that horizontal part at which it (the crack) branches and widens, but you can still crimp on it with your right hand in order to go left to the sloper. Find something constructive to do with your feet as you match the sloper, then choose between (a) getting to the next ledge, probably by means of some sort of heel-hook on the sloper, or (b) bailing onto the ledges to your left.

 *Too stuck to clean. I’m sorry.

This is a large arête with a crack going up its northern face and, if you are smart and climb it a winter afternoon, sun all over its western. No good landing to be seen. Best if you can downclimb, I think.
