The other arete. Follow the almost too perfectly placed edges up the left end of the arete, then with some compression and balance finish up the prow to a crumbly topout. (While celebrating your topout, do the future crushers a favor and wipe your hand over the top to remove the lose stuff)

As Josh climbs usually go, it's a bit sandbagged

Sit start at a low rail and throw big for a pinch along the arete. A convenient crimp right of the arete gives balance. High feet lead to the top out.

An awkward start gives way to a smoother finish. Another of Joshua Tree's short but powerful sit-start problems.

10 foot traverse along jugs and patina going from the left to right. Mantle over when the jugs run out.

Rated .8 in the Miramontes book. A fine warmup problem.
