This is one of the best new lines on Cactus Cliff - I wavered a bit on whether it is 2 stars or 3. Comparing it to other 3 star lines like The French are Here, I finally decided on 2 stars - but it probably goes more like 2 and a half.
Start right of Puff Daddy on the left side of a prow. The climbing is great, with a very thin, crimpy, crux section down low (just believe), and a strange, desperate finish through awkward holds that finally relent to jugs.
There are good rests after the crux that will let you get it together before tackling the tricky finish.
Hard for 12a, but realistically not much harder than that.
This is an excellent route with a very lean and technical first crux and a slightly runout second crux above the last bolt where you don't want to fall.
