Description 

This route is on "Bush Dome" which is right and behind "Mel's Diner". Park at the turnout at "Roadside Rock", and walk a short distance west to the formations. "Kate's Bush" is on the right. You'll see a ledge about 25 feet above. Climb the crack system that takes you to the left side of the ledge. It is probably best to belay here. Then climb the obvious crack above. The lower crack is somewhat grainy and awkward(5.8), and the upper crack is a 5.7- joy.

Standard rack

After passing on Chestwig, we did this route as a consolation prize. Woody's comments are spot on. Grainy first half, OK second half. A standard rack + some longs slings will do. Walk off to the climber's left. Worth the tick, but I won't be back.
