Shares the first bolt with Assault and Battery, but instead of going left, you go directly up the face.
Delicate slab climbing past the first 4 bolts, then you get a bit of a break heading to the 5th bolt, which is a little ways up and to the right. Past two more bolts on a steeper face, but good "holds" are there. After the last bolt you can either run it out to the top, or you can get in a few peices in the dirty corner to the left which I recommend.
Be careful on the run to the 5th bolt although it is easier climbing then below it is a bit of a run.
The climbing stays pretty thin and sustained throughout the climb.
You will also need some gear to set up an anchor up top to belay your second up.
Walk off
Location
Right of Jellyroll look for the two slab climbs that share the first bolt. This one is the line that goes straight up.

6 draws a few finger size peices up top and some gear for an anchor
Very nice slab climb! Very thin through the first 4 bolts with crux is at climbing past 4th bolt. Dicey stance to clip crux bolt. I grabbed the sling to clip the rope as I thought I was about to slip off. Fell at crux and just kept same stance with all 4 points touching and slid in that same position till rope caught my fall. Fun fall! The route does ease after 4th bolt but still fun upper steep wall for a few moves. I climbed the face as much as possible above but was able to get much desired gear in crack system on left. Fun route but a tough one!
