Cool route with some really neat features. Very grippy rock, with interesting chert bands and inclusions. Crux is after 11th bolt. Hands and feet get real thin for 5.8, but if you nail the sequence, it's easy. Trust your feet!

Descent:

Rappel route (70m rope).

Can't really identify a crux. Pretty consistent easy 5.8 on the upper slab, mostly 5.6 below that. Really cool pock marks and texture on this upper slab. Watch out for the neat, but sharp, chert bands on this route. You even get some decent crack moves down low.

Climb the nice bolted seam over a small bulge into around 30 feet of lower angle, easier crack (gear).

Descent:

Move up past a few dirty ledges. Somewhat harder move down low, followed by some easy climbing until near the top, where the hands and feet get thin. Thank the grippy rubber on your shoes as you smear through the crux.
