Decided to "warm up" on what at first appeared to be a fairly straight forward bolted climb on a wall directly behind the Indian Cove Group Campsite #4 picnic tables. A short scramble leads you to the belay stance of the East facing climb, which starts out on super juggy holds to the first bolts. The 3rd bolt is directly below a chossy little shelf that you need to use to gain the North facing face portion of the climb. From there it is slabby friction moves past 3 more bolts to the top where a 2 bolt anchor awaits.

The route is somewhat over hanging on the lower portion and scary run out once you pull over onto the North face. A massive pendulum back around and over the overhang awaits if you come off. Scared the shit out of me gaining the first two face bolts.

Route felt like 10+ and I would like to know if anyone can ID the climb and rating for me?

Uh, yep - that'd be the one. Many thanks for that!

Huh. First 10c lead at Josh, cool. Maybe have to go back and try it again with a piece to protect the crack...
