Description 

This route is on the lower left side of the wall, as you approach the cliff.
9 bolts lead up the center of the face.
Tricky mantle moves lead to somewhat easier climbing.


Protection 

Draws.

Fun route but felt like a sandbag at 5.9. Crux (for me) was getting from bolt 1 to 2

I'd say .9 is about right, but I remember the holds being very slick.

Easy to make the first clip feel very awkward if you climb to the ledge right of the bolt. If you climb directly under the first bolt the moves seem a little difficult for a .9 but clipping is less stressful I found.
