The first pitch felt like harder 5.10. It goes up a dihedral-like feature. At the anchors, continue left. (If you go right, you will be on Fuerte Vaquero and it looks a lot harder.) The route gets steeper and there is a section of 3 or 4 bolts that is fairly sustained. There is great climbing here with many pockets of various sizes. This route can be climbed as two pitches or one long one.
