Interesting Route
The crux is the start, and potentially an ankle-breaker (or worse) if you should slip. A small nut protects you. This is followed by balanced moves left and up to a pumpy, tricky transition into a layback flake. A hand jam is your friend to aid your transition up into the flakes. Then up to the 'abyss." I've gone to traversing under the roof/block/abyss... there's good gear, and it's an exciting traverse. Protect your second with gear on both ends of the traverse. 5.7ish to the top. After the tricky start, the gear on the rest of the route is great, and a worthy 5.10 on the crag. As with other routes on the crag, may be harder for short people. I consider the route 10b.

Ascent Notes:
Great sustained bottom, and a little heady going around the big block. Make sure you don't get he rope stuck behind the big block!

Ascent Note
Great climb, harder than it looks, that's a wicked layback and I had to do it during the ladybug infestation of '01! The feet are pretty good, once you pass the first bulge place a yellow alien.
I had to sit at the first bulge ona medium nut (5 or 6?).
