Description:

From bottom of cliff this climb starts to the left of Half and Half. Look for bolt above left side of arching rock. Follow bolts to and figure out a way to get over the big bulge near top, placing gear where possible.

3 out of 5 stars ascent note

crux is first move (5.8). High up on the route, I pulled the bulge left of bolt (easier if tall 5.7). I think most would just step right and avoid difficult highstep (5.6)
