Description
This is a good route. The guidebook describes it as "spectacular" and "puts the leader in very photogenic positions."
Climb up to a bolt, move left and around/over a roof. The 1st bolt is a bit less useful if you blow it before the 2nd bolt. The rock around the 2nd bolt seemed to have a crack in it. Continue up past 6 more bolts. Supposedly you can get a small cam in between the 5th and 6th bolts.
