Right of the climbs through the high roof- is this left-facing corner, which is more awkward than classic, but still pretty fun.
This climb has a weird part off the ground getting onto a big block. This is followed by an awkward move squirming into a flare, or liebacking to get in there. I thought this part was the crux of the climb, and it protects pretty well with a finger size cam before you start the crux sequence. At the top, pull on hand jams through a steep finish. It's fun and easier than it looks like it will be.
Jemez Rock lists this as 5.11a; Josh said 10b, so I'll try to be honest and leave the rating in between.
Protection
Nuts and cams up to a 2". 2-bolt anchor, with chains (thanks to Walt, probably).

A new #4 camalot protects the first funky moves off the "ground" (really off of a small ledge about five feet off the ground so it's nice to have this #4)
I named this route after my (now sadly departed) dog Abe, who accompanied Luke and I all over White Rock on our climbing adventures. I recall it being hardish 5.10. But it's been 10+ years, so my opinion isn't worth much there.
