Description 

Friction slab at its best. The crux sections are bolted very well but a light rack to 1 inch helps in between. Poor pro and few bolts lead to some interesting run-outs on a couple of the easy pitches. Overall a phenomenal route.


Location 

Starts a couple hundred feet to the left of Regular Route. Hike down is easiest. All anchors are bolted, but if you must rap then Memorial route is the preferred way down.


Protection 

Light rack to 1 inch, maybe a 2 inch piece if it is lucky.

First ascent, I believe, by Jason Cronk, Bob Gentry and Todd Chavez, in 2001.
Great climb. More info, and a topo (the route line is right, but the bolt locations are not exactly correct), here:
