Description:
Route is to the immediate right of a large flake, and is easily recognizable because the top anchor bolts are directly below an overhanging roof. This is a very nice crack climb, which can also double as lead practice. Lots of bomber crack holds.

Second time and still fun
After climbing this a second time two years latter I would say this climb is definitely a 5.9. Sustained 5.8 with a couple 5.9 moves. Really fun route though.

Awesome Route
Very aesthetic route, great moves, just flat out fun. The crux is high moving to the anchors. I would say it's a fairy sustained 5.8.

First Blood
I think this is the one just inches to the south of the Pinnacle. Easy climb, except for reaching the three bolt finish a few feet to the right.
