Climb steep moves past a horizontal crack to knobs and mantle a small ledge. Continue straight up to the right end of the ledge that crosses the face. Lean out right and latch the patina plate (shaped vaguely like the state of Calif.). Climb to the top of this and reach the top. Al's book shows it incorrectly traversing off on the ledge which crosses the face. With 2 more bolts it would actually be fun, too scary otherwise.
Protection
The pro on this route is sketchy at best. A cam in the horizontal crack and a 1/4" bolt protect steep moves to a small ledge. There may be a runner placement here. One hangerless 1/4" bolt takes you to the top.

Climbed this back when it had hangers on both bolts and finished the proper (direct) way. It was a decent route with adequate pro. Replace the bolts but don't add any...it would make it safer but not any better. One star out of five.
