On the slabby face 25 or so feet left of Skyscraper is a line of 8 bolts with (fading) painted hangers. The first 5 are widely spaced, but there is good protection to be had in incipient cracks and horizontals. The crux section is short and well protected, around the 4th bolt if I remember right. The route veers close to Skyscraper mid-way, but it's a good line -- about as good as they get on the Upper S Curve.
Location
A 70m rope will get you down from good bolts on top. I don't think a 60m rope will do it, which would mean walking off to the west.
Protection
Cams 1 1/2 inches and below, wired nuts, and slings.
A super fun line with a tricky ending. It's called, Glenlivet and was FA'd by one of the strongest climbers I've ever climbed with. He's put up many of the routes in Utah and his name is............Jeff Baldwin.
