Start with a bad knee lock in the cutout section of the crack. Pull yourself up with hand fist stacks until you get a good knee lock and can reach for the lip.

Atari

Dubbed "The World's Shortest Highball", Atari Arete is one of the most aesthetic boulder problems on the east side of the Sierras (or anywhere) and offers an exciting finish. What starts off as a wide sloping bear-hug style arete, eventually becomes narrower and less secure. Most beta involves heel-hooking one side of the arete (generally the right side) as you squeeze the arete and pull off the ground. Keep your eye out for marginal foot smears as you pull off the ground and again higher up. There is no real defined crux, however reaching a critical thumb-pocket high and right allows you to adjust your feet and work your left hand up before eventualy throwing for the lip.

Sit start at the right edge of the cave with a good left hand sidepull and a sloper rail for the right hand. Pull up to the lip then make a few more moves following the dihedral-like feature or continue traversing the lip leftwards for added difficulty but an easier and less scary topout.
