C-Miit (Climb The Median Of The Inverted Isosceles Triangle

Looking at this route about half way up there is an inverted Isosceles Triangle.
In geometry, a Median of a triangle is a line segment joining a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. Basically a line right through the center of the Triangle.
(Climb the Median)
The Boulder Start is probably the Crux of this route, other than that it is good 5.7  climbing.
Gear is great.

Location

This route starts about 6 feet to the start of Step of Valor.
Start on a face to an overhanging crack, climb a plumb line passing a pine tree to a crystal face. Staying on the Median trajectory line clip two bolts to gain a small roof and crack system. Pull past the roof to shared anchors of Step of Valor to the left.
Rap from here or continue on second pitch of Step of Valor

Protection

.4 to #3  Cammalots, Small to Medium stoppers, two bolts, Bolted Chain Anchors
