Corkscrew
With Mark B. Ok route. Somewhere, someone said it was the best on Yam? They were stoned. We combined 1-2 and 3-4 with a 70m rope, no simul climbing needed. Stay low when in question on that pitch three traverse. Need a 2" and 4" for the station at the top of 4. Tons of pins, no need for a lot of gear. That is a hard 5.12 in my book, we aided it. Easy just to yank on draws and step in a shoulder length sling. Hard to combine those last two pitches with a single rope, way too much zig zaging.
