Top Rope ascent by:
surrealistic pillar direct
And the more direct variation that traverses up the hand crack and gains the bolted anchor from underneath -- both were fun.

end of day
i ended up leading this thing at the end of the day and was wiped out by the second piece of pro. i at least made it up past the roof before falling... overall, a great route when you're not completely exausted!

Looks easier from the ground
With all the dykes along the way, it was hard to imagine it being a 5.10b. Boy, I was wrong. Can't imagine leading this in my wildest dreams; to follow this route was tough enough. However, beautiful sustained climbing. The move before the traverse to the right (if you choose to go that way) was tricky, but the finishing crack was fantastic.
