P1: Climb up the crack, the up and right across easier ground to the base of the left-facing flake/offwidth. Mosey up this to a belay ledge. (5.5, 100ft.)
P2: Climb the right-facing corner to a roof, then a heart-pounding traverse out left under the roof gets you onto the face above. Continue up to the top. (5.6, 100ft.)
Location
Look for a crack in the face near the ground, 35 feet left of the Arch.
Protection
standard rack, maybe something big for the offwidth/flake on P1?
This is a great route for a hot day, as both belays are shaded.
A #4 camalot protects the 5.5 crux on the first pitch. The crack is somewhat off-width if you stick to it. It is possible to climb to the right of the crack though.

Loved the P2 traverse. I felt the lieback on P1 was a bit harder than 5.6.
