Located roughly 100' left of a prominent orange streak (Tangerine Dream, 5.11a) and 20' left of a ramp to vertical face (Whammy, 5.10a).
Climb positive flakes up and slightly left to a suddenly balancy transition into a series of underclings and edges over a slight bulge. Positive holds lead over the bulge to the base of a right-facing corner system where creative body positioning combined with some stemming lead up the corner and over the top. A short bit of easy slab concludes this fun and varied pitch.
There is an extension to this route called Automatic Static (5.11c), 16 bolts to anchors.

From below the climbing over the small bulge looks like it will be the crux, but big friendly holds makes this easy. The corner above definitely provides the technical difficulties of the climb.
Fun pitch with a variety of techniques.

There's a pretty loose flake on this climb at about mid-height. It's just before the dihedral.
