This is the right-most line at Mental Rock.  It is quite slippery, strenuous, and desperate at times.

Follow a crack to a small roof, continue up face climbing to another small roof (crux), continue on face climbing to the top.

Pick a cool (not cold) day due to its slippery nature.

There is a line between

Manic-Depressive

(a.k.a. Bipolar) & Sleeper for TR ascent.  Felt 12.

Sleeper

Manic Depressive

This excellent line follows a thin finger crack up to and over the roof.  Once arriving at the roof, things get much more involved with powerful underclings and lunges to sloper holds, and finally a lunge to a good hand jam.

For even more fun, try the thin crack just right of the regular start which leads to the same roof crux, but involves more 5.11 and 12- moves before getting to the roof.  This variation is very sustained and better than the regular start.  Whichever way you start, there is a surprisingly large amount of hard climbing in such a short stretch of rock.
