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!!!

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!
