It's likely few climber go there, but it may affect the adventurous.
Description
This is a fun, little moderate which favors balance over power, grace over brute. This route has evolved over time. It used to sport less bolts, a few odd bits of hardware. As I recall, a good piece of protection used to be a sling over the large flake before the face moves. This is a nice warmup.
To start, you can ease into a few balanced, opposing sidepulls past the first bolt. Then continue up easy but less-protected terrain. Move right to a large flake. Balance up, find the correct sequence of balance and semi-slopers, high step, find a combo mantel/pull/heel hook sequence and you are nearly done. Easy moves with a jam bring you to the anchors. Rap.
This is my favorite 9 at N Table. It is on the fat side of 2 stars...it is Table.
Thanks, Ken!
Myke, I took responsibility for the description, since there was no description for the route.
Protection
6 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor.
Apparently, per Carl Sampurna: there is now a pin (above the first bolt), and there are Mussy hooks at the anchor.
