Directly underneath the main "Whale if Yer Scared" line, the direct start is significantly harder than the main route and ascends the relatively clean low arete/prow of Motown.
Pull a long bouldery sequence that includes some slapping around on a blunt arete, muttering under your breath about the poor feet, and a strong undercling before pulling onto the slab, wiping your brow, and finishing out the route.
