Description:
This route has different names and ratings depending on the guide book, however the descriptions and topos depict the same route.Located between the Giants Stair Case and Emerald City, this route shares its first bolt with Tin Man and stays to the left. Passing a couple minor roofs, the route continues up to a small ledge perfect for standing on while setting up the top anchors (which are also shared with Tin Man). Easy to find large holds make for easy climbing and comfortable clipping. Make sure to bring one or two long or extendable draws for the third bolt located under a roof.
Although straight forward with simple moves, the slightly runout bolts can make this a less than perfect first lead.

Slightly runout
I realized on this ascent that although an easy route, the bolts are spaced rather far for a beginner lead.
