Description
This is a thin and challenging face climb.
The crux is found in the lower section. Once you're past the 3rd bolt and the angle backs off, the climbing does, too, although it's still interesting. A stick clip is handy, especially with the crux being low on the route. Another great Strassman, Carroll, et al route! This route is in shade until about 1pm and probably doesn't get much sun at all from late fall to early spring.
Location
This is the first route you encounter as you walk up to the Hangin' Tree after coming through the tunnel. It follows the rounded prow of the buttress. RCM is in the corridor to the left.
Protection
11 bolts. Fat hooks for lowering.

Yikes! Some sort of gross typo-seizure. I don't think I can change that. Major Doh! moment. Would be cool, however, to have on-sighted a 12 pitch 10c! I think that's a little beyond me just yet, but the training is moving forward, so you never know.
Edit: Thanks, moderator, for fixing my typo. My goal was to put in 1/2 pitch. May 8, 2014

I don't recall the number of bolts. It starts at the toe of the buttress as you first meet it on the trail up. You can see all the bolts. Carry a couple of extra draws if you're unsure. Good climbing.
