Description 

This route tackles the buttress just right of "X It". The crux is a boulder problem right off the ground past the first bolt, with a unique flange pinch for the left hand. Once you are standing on the flange you can move left and up along cracks, flakes, and face to a big ledge. Clip the last bolt on "X It" but climb holds to the right to a shared anchor at the top of the wall.


Protection 

5 bolts to a two bolt anchor with rings.

Giving this route a 10a rating is quite generous.

Bypassing the crux by stemming right then moving up & left to the second bolt, makes this a fun 5.8, you could take a couple of 1-1.5" cams & hand sized 2.5-3" if you wanted to practice some trad in between the bolts.
