Nice!
I'd say true to The Book - flows really nicely after the second bolt, and demands a little thought to get there - for a shorty at least. Easily done in one pitch. Really helped develop the "lead head."

Nice long route
Highest route at tourist trap....first serious outdoor route :)
Gotta go back and lead this one next time!
When setting toprope use the bolt near the crack to the right about 10-15ft down from the anchors with a quickdraw to prevent the rope from getting jammed in the crack.

Ascent Note
Very nice climb. Some might argue runout between the second and third bolts after the ledge, but the climbing between them is really easy (5.5/5.6 tops). Surmounting the bulge seemed more interesting then sidestepping to the right--lots of possibilities for protection.

Wish I would have done the second pitch!
This was a fun climb we did on our last day there. Some of the big holds seemed close to their last legs, so be careful. I wish I would have seen the bolts on the second half after the first big ledge. You get a great view from up there.
