The left line on the Altar, the beautiful pinnacle on the right side of the Vestibule. Clip the 1st bolt and boulder out the crux moves, a thin crank. From here the climb follows incipent seams for five more bolts on pretty continous 10 climbing. Remember a #5 rock or equivalent for the last moves unless comfortable running it out, or escaping left to the top of Tabula Rasa. You might consider this a three star if you like bouldery routes, obviously I prefer continous lines, stellar nonetheless.

6 bolts to 2 bolt anchor. Note: A #5 rock or equivalent can be used in the crack after the last bolt before the anchors - or run it out.
This is an awesome route. It makes Tabula Rasa seem way easy. The beginning is a bit bouldery, but the rest of it is solid and continuous. A few weeks ago I was there and one the important hold was pulled off and it made the beginning even more difficult. I only top roped it, but I imagine its a spicy lead. If your climber takes a fall near the bottom make sure they do not get an enema with the log/rock that's at the bottom.
