Great moderate multipitch
Had difficulty starting in the hueco that my partner used to get to the first bolt. Instead stayed on the outside left using the ridge to lieback and then crossed over to clean the first bolt. Still a sketchy move. U may want to consider stck clipping the first bolt for safety unless you are a very skilled climber. The fall could cause sever injury.

Interesting slab.
I have taken many friends on this climb and I admit it will make 5.11 climbers cringe if you don't clip all the Retro added bolts. Over all it is a great climb! The bolts are where you would want them and the rock is solid. Note: on pitch 2 you will see another set of bolts leading out left. Follow the few bolts to the right to stay on route. Have fun!!!

Hair Raiser Buttress
The bolts have been re-added and you'll be glad they were. Wild place, wild climb. Oh yeah ... the start.

While still retrobolted
I climbed it. I admit, I clipped all the bolts available, and I was still somewhat concerned in spots. Now it has less than half as many bolts. I want to go back and climb it again!
