The correct way to do this route, albeit contrived as most Table Mtn. routes are is on the arete, not in the wide crack on the left and not way around the arete to the right as I saw someone do once. Otherwise it's not 5.11b.
The hangers were replaced on the route during the week of 4/27/2009 and two bolts added, one at the start to protect the area below the high first bolt and another in the crux at the top. The top crux can be done on the face to the left of the arete by using a higher left handhold than the obvious nice sidepull/undercling. Finishing around the corner to the right at the top could risk rope damage in a fall. Apparently Ken Trout already fixed the top anchors I would have done that too, thanks Ken!!
