Just below the upper crux on Talk to Me (5.11a), 8...

Description 

This is the rightmost climb on the left side of the crag and is located just left of a very broken, jumbled section of crag that separates the right and left sides.

A powerful and somewhat tricky start over a small roof (5.11a) gains an easy slab and then an interesting section past a short right-facing corner, before finishing up a long, lichen-encrusted face (5.9) with nice exposure and positioning. Note: the route can be started via the obvious crack 10' to the right which makes it a 5.9 route.

Despite the quality of the crux moves and the nice position of the upper face, the amount of lichen on this route seriously detracts from the overall experience. That said, this is still a fun climb with some potential - once this route cleans up it will merit another star or two, but until then be warned!
