Fun Trad!
I thought this was an especially fun 5.7 trad route. Though it didn't look like it had been climbed all year (lots of debris and gravel) I found this to be a stellar 5.7 lieback with good protection options. It's a bit overhanging so drink your poweraid first. This route has a lot of potential though, if only more people would climb it.
For an anchor a I used a ~2-2.5" cam (if memory serves), a nut under the large boulder, and a bit of webbing to sling the boulder. Bring some extra slings too so your rope doesn't have to run over the top. Hope this helps!
