Description:

fourth route from left, nice face 5.9, no overhang. For a more difficult variation (5.9+?), start the climb 3 feet to the right of the bolts, and stay to the right of the water stain, until you get to the tree growing out of the rock near the third bolt. Top out normally.

4 out of 5 stars First 5.9 lead

Feels harder than your average 5.9 to me...I'd call it 5.9+. Reachy to get to the jugs if you're short, and the feet are thin through the crux. Extremely well bolted, though, and a really safe first 5.9 lead if you stick clip the first bolt.
