Description 

Go about 15-20 feet up The Escalator and climb out onto the rounded face to the right (could be called an arete). A bolt with a 5.9 move leads to another bolt protecting the crux move. Very average.




Protection 

2 bolts and gear for the belay (when we did it)

A few pieces of gear to supplement the bolts is a good idea - a 1.5" and/or a 2.5" piece where the route breaks away from The Escalator and a 1.5" piece in a short left-facing flake between the two bolts should do it.
