Description
On the lower left-side of the west face is slabby section with an obvious right leaning crack. To the left of this is a black streak with two small roofs at the bottom - this is the route. Pull the roofs then you're going to have to figure it out. It goes straight up on interesting face moves. The crack to the right and the chimney to the right of that have also been climbed. I'm not responsible for naming this route.
Protection
The top can be accessed and descended to the left. You'll have to place your own anchors.
