Description 

I only climbed the first pitch of this route, and it sucked big time. Super easy slab leads to a vertical section with no pro, save for a bolt which someone made unuseable by flattening it into the rock. The second pitch continues up much better rock through some hard climbing (5.12 moves) to the top. The route can be found about 25 or 30 feet to the left (West) of "Thanks Bill". Look for the anchors at the top of the first pitch above a vertical section of rock at the top of the initial slab.

Protection 

It's a sport climb, but take some cams and nuts for the first pitch. OK, PAY ATTENTION HERE: Some fool hammered the bolt hangers flat against the rock on the anchors of the first pitch. There is a sling and a locking biner threaded through one of them, but not the other. You can NOT fit biners through the anchors here, so bring some spare slings too.
