Description:
Hike right up the trail towards top of cliff. This is the last bolted climb going up steep face. Possible to "stick clip" the first high bolt by scrambling up blocks to left of the climb's proper start. Hard at the beginning but lets up at second bolt for a nice jug haul with a possible dyno. Possible to climb left to avoid hard start (5.9).

Boulder problem start
Not sure how you get ratings from 10d to 5.9. I guess it depends on how you do the start. The more pure the harder it is. Boulder problem start is over fairly quickly. I thought it was about 10c/d if you don't step on the wall to the left. Although it was really only about 2-3 moves.

hard bottom, easy top
the bottom below the first bolt is much harder than the rest of the climb. Fun route.
