A superbly positioned route with massive exposure from the first move.
1) 5c, 12m. Climb a crack, then traverse left before tricky moves past a peg lead to a stance on ledges above.
2) 5b, 25m. Pull up the groove and over the overhang above, then move left to the arete. Climb up, then back right to the crack. Big holds lead up the exposed wall, move left and finish up the arete and wall to the right.

Wonderful, beautiful route. One of the best I've done. But NOT E2, ever.
