Description
A great route on generally good rock. The route crosses many ledges with extremely loose gravel-like rock. The crack pitches may be wet and certainly contain chock stones which are loose as well as stable. The climbing on the water runnels mid-route are fantastic. The climbing is 5.7-5.8 for the most part, with 3 pitches of 5.9, and many bolts for protection. There is a picture below of a topo from Im assuming the FA. While the grades suggest a casual outing, the rock quality is suspect throughout. The bolts are widely spaced. There appears to be a mid-way belay station now on P7 to reduce rope drag and support rappelling off. At the top of P9 the two bolts are behind the trees and without rap rings meaning that to rap off one would need to leave gear.

Location
The route is located past, (NE) of the sport climbs of True Grit and Parallel Dreams. Hike past those routes for approx. 15mins and across a scree slope. The trail now enters a treed section, look for a patch of trees against the cliff in a bit of a cave feature. Just past this feature on the right is low angle buttress, the route starts on the right of this. Below and right of EEOR's Tail is spray painted "Live and Love" or something to that affect in blue. Walk beyond this down and around the toe of the next buttress. Car to base is about 1.25 hours.
