The first bolted route at Quartz. You might rope up for the climb to the ledge being 5.6/7. Start at the two-bolt belay and then work up past a couple of bolts and into a stance below a crack. Then climb up past the chimney and to another bolt to easy climbing above.
Location
Start from the grassy ledge 20 feet off the deck on the right side of the wall.
Protection
Long slings for the bolts, the crack will take some small stuff if you really want it. Stuff a big 3-4's cam in the belay stance in the dish. Standard rack will suffice for the rest.

Crux is getting off the ledge. the move straight up from the anchor is very boulder problem-ish. I've seen many people get stuck on it. One move and your on the street though.
