This is the rightmost route on the slab area of the Crag Ranch, just right of Fenceline. The first pitch tackles a block shaped bulge and then a surprisingly smooth slab, 5.10a. The second pitch follows a sort of right facing flake system on much steeper rock with bigger holds. Overall, a fun two pitch romp.
The first pitch of this is a decent 10a with a very smooth slab to take you to the final bolt.
The second pitch is absolutely excellent, a bit tricky for 10+, possibly 11a.
Three stars may be a bit much, but I think it is better than 2 stars. This line probably isn't quite as good as Topaz, but the second pitch comes close.
I thought this route was great. The first pitch looks like a silly nothing, but has fun pleasant moves on it. The slab was quite fun. The second pitch is the knockout.
The slab moves between the last 2 bolts on the 1st pitch felt more like 5.10c/d than 5.10a if it's hot and you don't slab climb much. The 2nd pitch has great laybacking. Get ready to use your arms as it's a lot steeper than it looks.
