Description 

This route starts to the left of the approach ramp for Stroh's, and climbs through some broken choss for many clips (5.5), passes the Stroh's approach ledges, and finishes on the north arete to the right of Stroh's. Lower 100'(?) to the ground.

The last 15' were somewhat entertaining, where you finally get to quality stone (5.8-5.9). I would maybe give it one star if you were to start this route from the ledge (7 bolts), and don't waste your time with the first half.

Over-bolted for the grade. Be careful of loose rock.

Protection 

12 bolts to a 2-bolt anchor.
