This climb is pretty straight forward. The route starts left of a 20 ft tower of blocks.
P1: (5.9) Clip the first bolt from atop the blocks and follow the bolt line up and right for approximately 170 ft to a hanging belay. A slightly steeper section right before the anchor may be considered the crux of the climb.
P2: (5.9) Continue climbing up and right past another dozen of so bolts, clipping an anchor bolt along the way, to a comfortable belay ledge. The anchor is positioned about 10 ft left of the route's line.
P3: (5.9) The route finishes up a short ramp up and right from the belay ledge.
Descent: Rappel a short distance down to a prominent tower. From the tower rappel down through four more stations to the ground.
Protection
Highly Recommend: 60m rope, 12 quickdraws, 6 apline quickdraws, and a helmet.
You no longer clip the anchor to Meteor on P2. Someone added a bolt for Leonids a few feet left of that anchor. It took us 4 rappels with a single 60m rope to get to the ground instead of 5. From the top, we skipped the anchor at the top of the Triton Tower and rappeled to the mid anchor on Triton, then the low anchor on Triton, overhang rappel and a little left, last one to the ground.
