Good rock, fun climbing, lichen on some [good] holds. Several options to start, 1st bolt too low / unnecessary because there is a good stance for clipping the second.

Another steep, fun route. The crux at the last bolt was a little tricky and felt harder than 10a.
On September 15, there were only a few remnants of poison ivy at the base, but be careful when you pull the rope.
Thoughtful 5.9ish climbing to off balance crux at the last bolt, grazing the 5.10a mark. First bolt is not necessary.

I'm going to disagree with the previous posters. I liked the first bolt! Thank you Kirk for putting it there. It may not be "necessary" if you don't fall, but the second bolt would be fairly far off the ground.
The climb is mostly 5.8-5.9 with one move near the top that makes it a bit more challenging. The last move is easier if you are taller.

Very aesthetic line, well bolted. I found it about 5.9+, but I am tall. Thanks Kirk!
