Description 

This is the 10 bolt route left of Run For Your Life (5.10b). The crux is cranking past the first 2 bolts (somewhat height dependent). After that, climb up and left on sharp edges, then steep face moves and some marginal smearing gets you to the top. Good variety of well protected moves on this one.


Protection 

10 bolts to 2 bolt rap anchor (80 ft.)

More positive than most routes at the grade and probably not 5.11 if the crux is down low. None the less, a good route with fun movement that's pretty safe.

I thought it warranted 5.11.
The cranking crux might be by the second bolt but the toughest part for me was a marginal friction move by the second to last bolt.

As good or better than Run For Your Life -- continuous and excellent face climbing. Crux by 2nd bolt is 5.11, thin moves to top out.
