Description 

This route is the north most route on the west face. It can be reached by climbing up a flake (by a nice tree) to an obvious ledge. Whereas the 1st bolt is kind of high it is not hard to climb there and once clipped the protection is not lacking. Climb up the City of Rocks (pocketed edged) face past 11 bolts on this nice fin. Very straight-forward climbing with only the odd technical move thrown in.


Protection 

11 draws and 2 more for your chains. Also either 2 ropes are needed or you can hike to the south end of the buttress for 2 80-foot rappels.

You can get off this with a single 70m rope into the "gully" climber's right of the route. - BJ Sbarra

Very fun route and pretty easy to get to the first bolt; lucky for you there are now about 4 new bolts that did not used to be there so the runout is not too bad! Must Do!

Nice route with small run-out between fist and second bolts - 11 in total plus chains. Good rock, fun moves a definite must if you're at the base.
