Description 

The bottom half of the route is nothing special. Pro is fine, holds are fine.

The middle section has a nice crack but not much for feet. Above that is the best part with more crack, a few pockets, etc.

Rig your own belay from a few trees atop the cliff - bring webbing to extend the belay closer to the cliff top.

Walk off back toward the road and pass down through the huge cave.

Location 

From the top switchback on Swan Flats Road, hike along the cliff band, past the huge cave which provides great access to the top of the crag, until you see what is obviously the best line you've laid eyes on in this area.

Protection 

Medium and small stuff.
