The terrific upper half is a bolted crack, but I'm not complaining. Start in the alcove to the right of the giant boulder, as for Adventure Kayak and River Dance. Up & right easily on the slab (R of RD) and follow a vertical face to a roof. The roof (crux) is wild, pumpy and complex for the legs/feet. (Note, there is a tempting and large wedged block midway through this passage which moves when gently pulled from some directions.) Above the roof, gain a good rest then follow an interesting 5.10 handcrack most of the rest of the way to the anchors. Use long slings on the 6th and 7th bolts to avoid rope drag.
Felt pretty solid in the grade, on a par w/ Hey Good Looking at Wall of the 90s.
Route 13 in the beta photo. This is the pitch described by Josh Finklestein under the comments for Slacker.
