The crux comes right at the start. Look for a really neat white crimp under the second bolt and head out left. The corner looks nice but it is actually a bit crumbly.
Location
On the nice slab between "Dude, it's a Classic" and the 5.7/8 to the right.
Protection
All bolts. We included a sucker bolt for your first clip since the rock in the corner is a bit loose, but cleaning up fast.
The hardest climb on this part of the wall, for sure. The first bit of climbing is kinda crumbly, but it should clean up with more ascents. I'll head back up there sometime soon and scrub off more of the loose stuff. I think it's 5.10a, but maybe that's just because I was concentrating extra hard on not breaking the holds... After the third bolt, it's cruiser easy slab climbing to the top. This climb shares anchors with the route to the right.
EDIT: Another note on the rating: When old man Burrell started climbing, 5.9 was the hardest thing around. So now, if anything is remotely hard it's 5.9 unless I talk him out of it. I still think this is 5.10a.
