Description:
A superb route that was retrobolted about 8 years ago. Pitch 1 begins left of Diesel and Dust and goes up and right past the crux move (5.10a, well-protected) to a belay station. Pitch 2 climbs the upper headwall on micro-thin edges to anchors (5.11a).

Confusing crux
Fun route with a hard crux. The crux is only a few moves in and took me a few minutes to figure out. Pretty straight forward route past the crux though.

Bring a stick clip
Really fun route on the best rock in the Garden. Start on the boulder and do a leftward traverse over a 15 foot dropoff to clip the first bolt. It's pretty easy climbing out to the first bolt but it would be terrible to take a fall before you clip. Just for peace of mind I used a stick clip on the first bold. It's one of the best protected routes I've ever climbed after that first clip though. Nice crimps and thin flake pintches will bring you to the anchors
