Description 

This route has shut down many 5.12 climbers. Probably 12b in my opinion. I don't know.. I'll let other people provide their thoughts.
Start on the left side of the main wall and climb up decent pockets to the first bolt. Things get tricky from there. A notoriously difficult crux follows with a strenuous gaston section followed by big reaches to some small crimpers. The climbing stays continous and technical up to the bulge. At the base of the big, black bulge head up and right through the steep section, clipping a couple bolts before joining the finish of the Monorail.
Fun, long and involved route.

Protection 

10 bolts, closed cold shut anchors.
