Description
Located about 50' left of Energy Crisis. Start in a gully, traverse right to a bolt. Follow 4 more bolts to a two bolt anchor. The traverse to the first bolt is a bit cruxy. Another crux is found at the third bolt. A fun climb!

Fun, but the grainy (and flaking) rock and bird shit detracts from the experience somewhat. With more traffic this would clean up nicely. The anchors are camo'd, so they are a bit hard to spot. They are a ways above the last bolt - above a horizontal crack and on a big ledge. The crux is definitely traversing into the first bolt, and the exfolating rock doesn't inspire confidence.
Location of the start is about 50' left of Energy Crisis (not Power Line as in the above description)

I led the route today with one of the FA team-members and followed the beta for the start. I have to say that the traverse over was quite crumbly.
Contrary to what the description says, the crux really seems to be maneuvering past the second bolt not really the third. I went right using a mantle & high step which was pretty solid.
On the way down I tried the crux moves using edges on the left which also works at about the same grade.
In addition, the start can be done straight up and is no harder (IMO) plus it's a better fall and the rock is cleaner.
