The first two pitches of this route are new, and the balance is a mixture of the best routes surrounding it. Start midway between Mad Dogs and Non Compos.
1. 25m (5c): Step off a large boulder and climb the face to a ledge. Traverse right across Non Compos, then climb the steep wall on the right on large jugs to the ledge to share a stance with Eclipse.
2. 20m (6b): Move right and climb the smooth wall above on tiny holds and one (good) micro nut for protection. Gain the ledge and continue up to the higher ledge to share another stance with Eclipse.
3, 4 & 5: One can now finish up on Eclipse or Shortest Straw, but the recommended way is to follow Eclipse for another pitch (4b), then traverse onto and climb pitch 3 of the Shortest Straw (6a+), then finish up on the last pitch of Romancing the Rock Hyacinth (5b).
