Description 

This route begins in the descent gully, approximately even with top of the first pitch of Face Lift. A better option is to climb the first pitch of Face Lift. From the Face Lift belay angle up and right to the large hole (this is about 20 feet with no pro). The business begins above the hole. Clip a bolt and friction up an insecure trough, climbing significantly above the bolt. This section is very solid 5.9 (read at least 5.9). Eventually easier climbing leads to a headwall and the top of the alternative second pitch of Face Lift.

Protection 

3 bolts only, but not a sport climb. I hesitate to give it an R, maybe NC17.
