Every belay is at a ledge, several HUGE. The route staircases left. Technical crux is crack switch to start the 3rd pitch. Fourth pitch has about 15 feet of 10a protected by a bolt at the bottom, and horrendously flexing flakes above that. A fall here would smack you on a slabby ledge. Tops out with some standard 5.7R slab.

Undisputed Truth

Faux Pas

If ever there was an All Star, Hall of Fame, Legends climbing team this is it.  Too bad the route isn't longer with better climbing.

Pitch 1 - climb up a small right-facing dihedral and face and belay at two bolts.

Pitch 2 - Traverse up and right to a short headwall with three bolts(crux) and arrive at a small ledge with two bolts.  You can belay here or continue up about 30-40 feet to a ledge with a gear belay and a bush/small tree.

Pitch 3 - Climb more or less straight up from the ledge with the bush/tree skirting several small overlaps to low angle slopes(5.5).

If you belayed on pitch 2 at the double bolts you might not make it to a gear belay at the top of the pitch.  There is a single 3/8" bolt for a belay if you are out of rope. If you belayed on the ledge or have a long rope you can reach a gear belay where the climbing eases.
