Onsight ascent by:
Duracell
The anchor location is a little hard to get to, and once you're there, it's pretty sketchy. Lot's of loose dirt sloping towards the cliff, so be careful and make sure you're tied in to something. For a top-rope anchor, we used the smallish pine and the big block, but you can probably use the pair of pines as well. We slung our anchors so that the masterpoint hung about 10 feet below the edge in order to avoid dragging our climbing rope on the rock. Make sure you have sufficient slings/cordelettes if you're looking to do the same.
Just like the route description says, start on the bench-like setback just to the right of a bush (which can get in the belayer's way, by the way). Follow the crack and then go straight up.
Note: there are some unofficial routes to the left of Duracell, maybe 5.7 or so. We built an anchor off of the solid lone pine to the left of the pair of pines. Alternatively, you can use the pair of pines.
