Description:
The center of three vertical cracks on the right end of hogsback, just to the left of Harvey's Wallbangers, Right. Mostly 5.4 moves with a short 5.6 fingers crux. At the top, climb a 5.7 mantel (fun!) or make an easy face traverse right (set a directional for your second, or make him/her do the mantel). Can be done in 2 or 3 pitches, with several good belay options.

nice route
this is a fun route. protects well and is steeper than Deception. be sure to do the 5.7 mantel and the interesting final overhang at the very top: well protected and fun moves.

Another ascent
This climb was fun but did not have any memorable sections. The 5.7 mantle was fun. The first belay seemed a little rotten, use pro in the crack next to the piton.

quick route
this route is pretty straightforward.. i would definitely suggest doing the 5.7 finish to the climb.
a side note to the last comment; since this route was simple enough, i ended up doing the thing with almost all passive gear. if you go old school and don't place the cams you can do it with a set and a half and some hex's...

Nice Day
Went with KC. Hogsback is a nice place for a first lead. Did in two pitches. Took alot of cams and had a hard time finding places for nuts.
