Description:
An excellent easy 5.10 with a very well-protected one-move crux. Follow the long broken flake system up and right for 40' feet until it's possible to clip a bolt above a small rail. Step left out of the flake and up to get a foot on the rail (crux). Tip toe your way up the rail to a two-ring anchor. Most parties rappel after the first pitch. Starts just to the right of the obvious bowl is a corner and flake system on a clean white rock. P1 - Climb the flake to a bolt. From the bolt make difficult (5.10-) moves up to a second bolt above the obvious dike. Traverse along the dike to a bolted belay. P2 - Continue traversing left along the dike past a bolt. A smooth section (5.9+) must be overcome before reaching a second bolt. Continue left to the second bolt of Fantastic. Finish the Fantastic pitch. P3-5 - Finish on Fantastic

Very nice - super safe
Did P1 only - Primarily a trad route following a crack and some flakes, this is probably the safest route I have climbed at Stone, excepting perhaps the Arch. Crux right at the first bolt and just a tiny bit of slightly challenging climbing after that. Much less intimidating than most of the other routes I've climbed at Stone, even many of the lower graded routes. Definitely a good choice for warming up for Fantastic even though it's technically easier.
We traversed over to the first bolt on P2 in an effort to set a TR on something but opted to do so from the P1 anchors on Fantastic instead. Not too tough to reach the first bolt, but much more Stone style runout climbing. At least there are some features to work with through that part. The moves to the next bolt looked a bit more heady and certainly that last bit of Fantastic is pretty riveting.
