This takes the smooth face a ways left of 200 Motels/Taken For Granite that passes over a small roof/overlap midway up.
Sustained climbing with a distinct crux is played out on high-quality stone far better than the usual Indian Cove oatmeal.
Not too far from the car, but far enough away to get a feel for the wildness that Rattlesnake Canyon has to offer. Well worth a visit for this or one of the other fun routes on Rattlesnake Buttress.
This incredible route is another classic by Bob Gaines. Sustained 5.11 face climbing past the first 7 bolts leads to a very difficult move to an undercling and the 8th bolt. Gaining the 9th bolt involves perplexing and strenuous moves; once deciphered enlightenment is achieved. At least four out of five stars.
