Top Rope ascent by:
Top rope this if you're feeling squirrely
Gaines' book calls this a 'bold lead' and I would certainly concur. Coming off getting to the first bolt would not be a fun landing. TR'ed this instead and had a great time working the various sections. Move right on the roof to get a better handle on going over the lip.

Flash ascent by:
Excellent variety in moves
This route has lots of variety, from chimney work to roof and slab work. Nice for those climbers who getting comfy on lead and want to challenge themselves mentally. The clip and move out from under the roof is super fun to lead.

Great view, fun route
The route has a couple of sections where you can choose either to do it the 'easy' way or practice some moves. I especially like the third to last move where you can mantle the thin ledge then move to the corner to finish

Great for practicing lead climbing and belaying
After having spent a couple of days training and practicing, two of my mates sent this on Flash. It's a great route for those starting out on lead. Also excellent for practicing friction/slab climbing - something that is tough to find in most gyms.

Tough move leads to super easy finish
I spent several minutes finding the best way to jam the right toe, pull up on the two finger holds and then pivot to flag the left leg for the pull up. After that it's all power plus smear to move up to the next crack. Sending the body left on the initial move was key to making the left hand hold work best for moving through the crux.

Great for practicing lead climbing and lead belaying
Good clean sport lead fun. Lead the route and set a top rope up so my mates could practice lead climbing and belaying while on TR. This is a good route for that kind of thing.
