The Electron Shuffle traverses left to right or right to left. From the left begin at the fractured arête and pull up onto the wall on large fractured  sloping handholds. Continue working right on sloping handholds and incuts, with deminishing footholds. A couple nice positive angular incut side pulls for the left hand facilitate a long step to the right on small, low edges and a high backhand or awkward undercling on a large, but dubious looking flake. Further right good incuts for the hands and widely spaced footholds help pass a bulge. Continue right on larger fractured holds.
