Book Cliffs is used by the Boy Scouts; please avoid Camp Steiner and be courteous.
Description
Near the center of Book Cliffs is a large open book, with two bolted lines on the left wall (Guillotine and Blues Streak), a broken pillar in the corner, and an attractive green face on the right wall (Green Eggs and Ham). To the right of the buttress/arete formed by the right-side of the green face (A-climb-a-tize) is a slightly right-leaning crack leading to an obvious roof. Climb this (some possible loose rock, but inconsequential), judiciously turn the roof, and continue up face to the top.
Protection
Nuts and cams to 3 inches. Belay from gear, using the Green Eggs and Ham anchors for back-up as needed. Descend by rapping off the Green Eggs anchors.
Location
In the middle of Book Cliffs, approximately 20 feet right of Green Eggs and Ham.

I think the book said there were anchors at the top of the route but all I found was a shit load of duct tape on the lip and some chopped bolts. I climbed this with my girl friend that really doesn't climb so I had to build a anchor next to the chopped bolts, lower to the ground and TR to get my gear back. I saw the anchors for green egg but just saw bolts that really were not set for rapping, I chose the walk off. Not as solid of rock as I thought it would be and the roof (the best part) seems harder than 5.8, I will give it a 5.9
