Great route. A somewhat bold first bolt, then a strenuous hands with thin feet sidestep (crux) after clipping the second bolt, followed by a fun sustained 5.9 crack/layback to the anchors. Note that these anchors are just chains. It is possible to continue up and right to some mussy hooks at the top of a new route on the far right side of this face.
