P-1 Many variations possible. Climb to obvious ledge at 100' and belay at bolts.
P-2 Climb a short wandering pitch to a small stance and belay below the "billboard".
P-3 Continue up crack feature past bolt to stance. From here the regular finish moves a bit to left on gear; harder direct finish moves up and slightly right past an additional bolt. Belay on small ledge near top at 2 bolts.
Rap with 2 ropes.
Note: This route would make a convenient rap lane into the canyon once you figure out how to find it from the overlook.
