Description Suggest change

Pull an overhang right off the deck to gain first bolt at the bottom of a clean orange face. Follow line of bolts through an overhang mid-route and over another overhang to finish.  Steep and fun, but good rest stances. Roof Crack Variation (5.10 and bring cams) finish the route through the roof crack that splits the upper roof to the right of the regular finish.  Direct Start; (5.9+  3 bolts) Just to the right of the normal start climb through a big roof followed by easy climbing to rejoin the regular route at the stance below the the mid-route roof. 

Location Suggest change

If hiking in from Hidden Cracks, this is the 3rd line you will come to that has bolts (although they will be sort of behind you as you walk past and you might miss them)  Look for two bolts on a clean orange face that leads to a ledge below a roof.  There is a small Helmlock with a jumble of rocks around it's base next to the trail at the bottom of the route.  

Protection Suggest change

7 bolts. (8 if you do the direct start) Top anchor has chains/carabiners.  It make lowering WAY easier if you clip the bolt below the first roof with an long alpine draw.  Also clipping the second to last bolt with an long alpine draw is beneficial (and the climbing there is very casual).  This suggestion is even more critical if you do the direct start.
