This is the bolted route that shares the starting pitch of Leopard Skin 5.7. The line of new bolts can be seen from the ground.
P1 Start with Leopard Skin in a right-facing dihedral. Clip the first 2-3 pins and break left when the shiny bolts appear. (5.8) Follow the bolts to a traverse under the roof. The moves to the anchor and great belay ledge, are about 5.10a/b. (120 feet.)
P2 Follow more closely spaced bolts up the face to another belay. (5.8, 70 feet.)
P3 Work up a slab with one small runout (compared to the rest of the route) to a headwall with a crack. Crank through the headwall on the left or right. (5.9, 80 feet.)
P4 Easy juggy face to the top. (5.6, 80 feet.)
Descent: Rap 4 times with a single 60M. The last rap ends on a ledge with a 5.2 downclimb.
