Details
Please do not climb on wet rock, especially footholds. If a hold is wet, and you are unsure if it is fragile or not, go climb something dry. Caking a hold in chalk only dries the surface of the rock and does nothing to actually make a hold less friable.
If you use chalk on the rock, brush it off when you are done. If you use tick marks, brush them off when you are done. Wipe your feet off prior to each climbing attempt. Excess chalk and any dirt, leaves, or mud can polish holds over time. Do not drag your pad from one climb to the next (in order to minimize erosion). And most importantly, Leave No Trace. Pick up your trash and place it in the trash cans at the trail head.

Description
This problem is listed in the Falcon Guide for Cooper's Rock with 4 variations (V3, V3, V4, and V5). This description is for the standard route.
Sit start on fun pockets and stand up the to an obvious sloper and undercling. Begin traversing left towards more obvious pockets and move up on them. There are three pockets below the top edge of the formation. If you are shorter, you may choose to use the two right-most pockets (garbage) to statically bump up. The left most pocket is higher and very good, but at 6 feet tall it was a very dynamic movement to reach. Top out is easy from there.
If you only have one pad, put it under the finish as it is quite rocky.
