If you can reach! The right sloper can be avoided altogether for a more direct hold above head hight on the first lip of the break, steady yourself with a heel hook around the right of the arete. Not sure whether this is a worthy 6b for the tall (probably 6a - My Limit so far)but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
