Walk right from Leo past a large ampitheater. Continue walking until you see a dihedral with a very thin seam. Look at the dihedral and wish it would take gear. Continue around the next corner to locate this dihedral that does take gear. Climb the dihedral to the dirty finish.

I am fairly positive that I was on the correct climb, but this would be closer to 45 ft than 75 ft. A little gritty from lichen, but surprisingly clean for a rarely climbed route. Solid pro and more than enough placements. Devise your own descent from the ledge, but there may be a hex or two already there.
