This route climbs up past 15 bolts to lowering anchors. As described in the Boulder Canyon guide its 2 pitches and goes at 5.12A1, however I have climbed the entire route in one pitch and felt that it goes free at about 13a.
The first pitch of this route is rated 11b and is a fun route in that grade. Unfortunately, the crux comes right off the ground and involves a pretty intense crimp and a high step. A bit brutal for a warm-up. The rest of the pitch is easier, but continuous and fun. Clipping the bolts on the upper section is a bit awkward because the bolts are on one side of the arete, but the climbing is on the other.
