Description 

Locate the seeping area below a roof (about 15 feet overhead). Route climbs up and right of the roof and continues up the perfect hand crack to its end.

P1: Climb up the roof and right. Once you pull the roof, continue up the dihedral and handcrack to its top. Once you mantle up at the top of the crack, climb out and left and continue up crack system trending left. it gets a bit thin toward the top. PLEASE NOTE: The bolts at the top of this are currently missing! v1: After you mantle up, if you have a group and wish to toprope, there is an anchor up and right. Please note, there is a high likelihood of your rope getting stuck on the upper flake. In order to avoid this, belayer should be out and right, and a directional is required at the top of the crack.

There are now three bolts (and I believe bolted anchors) finishing this route after you exit the crack. It's maybe a grade harder than the crack I was told, though I haven't climbed that part myself.

Top bolted variation is burly but fun.
