0.6 miles west of the Beige Siphon Tube there is a paved pullout on the south side of the road next to a big block of rock called the Borg. Look up to the east. 3 obvious slabs exist. Second slab is just up and left of the lower right slab. Start in the middle of the face and go up to a seam/crack. Follow the seam left then right (5.9) to the top or continues up the right side of the face (5.7) to the top.
Protection
Top rope on natural anchors. Climb the first slab to the anchors. lead up a 5.5 dihedral to the top of the second slab. Rap to base and climb. Addendum added bolt-anchor to the top of the slab.

In 2004, I added a bolt-anchor to the top of the slab in hopes of returning and adding a few bolts to allow for a reasonable lead. I think this could be a mix of gear and bolts; and when finished, as a lead, it may be two out-of five stars.
