Description 

Two routes right of Travis is Soul King. Start at a small, left-facing corner, working your way up to a reasonable stance below the obvious layback flake. Power up the layback (with reasonable feet after the first moves) and stretch right to the anchors shared with Nalalator.

A fun climb, and the layback is not all that pumpy if a good pace is maintained. A well-protected route.


Protection 

8 bolts plus anchors.

You can double your fun on this one by jamming the layback flack. Stellar hand jams, and much more skin-friendly than most at Shelf.

I meant layback "flake", of course.

Super fun! The flake has a good edge all the way up, and the airy layback makes this one of the best 10a routes on the cliff.

I agree - excellent and really fun climbing. My thanks to the FA's. Also, perfectly bolted (i.e. very safe) for the nascent 5.10 leader.
