Bone Crusher (sometimes referred to as Bone Collector) is the line to do on the wall. It is the rightmost of the three climbs at the main wall (the one visible from the road) and offers continuously high quality, difficult climbing.
Begin in a slightly loose, difficult to protect slot and work up to good gear and a rest on a ledge out right. From here some interesting moves lead up to another rest at a jug, and then the business begins: Climb up to a small wedged flake below the steep, bulging wall above, and then jam and/or layback your way up the powerful splitter fingercrack to a stance in a slot. A few more strenuous moves lead to a bolted anchor.
It is possible to place a #1 Camalot at the very beginning and very end of the route, but both placements are optional. All the rest of the gear is smaller -- a triple set is nice. No stoppers or draws needed.
Regardless of what it is being called the correct name of this route, as given by JM is Bone Crusher.

Sounds good to me, Wayne. Good route nonetheless. Plenty of rests. Finger stack through the crux bulge. Trick beta to get a piece at the end of the crux. Good gear. Good fun. Jimmy once told me he thought it was 5.12a.
