Great climb be careful traversing from the pillar to the crack on the main wall. The rock is slippery and the move is unsecure. After getting into the crack the pro is good on the rest of the climb. The crack becomes an offwidth at the top. Look for good holds just out of sight. To get to this climb from the main wall go past the Ramp toward limbo area. When you get to Vawters dihedral go left on climbers trail toward top of mountain. 60 feet up trail you will find Apostrophe. This is a quality climb that is not often done.
I have not yet found a climb of equal quality in Mission Gorge. The line is beautiful and outstanding amongst its shorter MG brethren. The top bulge offwidth section offering the perfect bit variety to an already fun climb, making this a major classic in the area. Definitely need a #4 for the top, although possiblities for other protection exist prior to committing to this section. Traversing from the pillar to the crack is definitely easier for the taller folks, but feet are solid and the pro is good.

No #4 needed for the top... just place in the horizontals below the OW and you'll be fine. Once you actually get into the OW section its two moves then you grab something and you're done.
