An interesting line that is harder than it looks. The guidebook (Rock Climbing the SF Bay Area, Falcon Guide) gives this a 5.10a R rating, citing the 20 foot runout at the top. But this terrain is 5.5 at most and thus I think this R rating is undeserved.
Start up low angle features to the right of the bolt line, executing some committing moves to reach the first bolt. I actually thought this was the mental crux of the route, but it appeared that small gear would have protected this section. Climb more positive pockets to reach a distinct thin crux just past the second bolt. Find the big holds and finish off with increasingly easy terrain to the anchors.
Location
The second route from the left on the NE face (downhill side of Indian rock). Just right of Viscious Circles.
Protection
2 bolts to a 2-bolt anchor Small cams or chocks may be useful if you're nervous about the high first bolt
You can easily top-rope the route by walking around to the 2-bolt anchor
