Suggested Page Improvements to Black Plastic Streetwalker
The route as described is not BPS. BPS is the furthest right route (now with 4 bolts) on the formation. The comments section has the whole story and the beta pictures are accurate.
Description Suggestion
This is the first route to the left of Imaginary Voyage (before the crawl-thru), which follows 4 bolts near the arete (eventually you roll onto the arete). Retrobolted. The original line (graded 5.9) starts in the middle of the face, and slings a knob, before heading considerably to the right. The new bolted version starts low and to the right, getting some exposure on funky bouldery moves (easier if you're shorter) before heading up.
Note that Miramontes and other guidebooks have Black Plastic Streetwalker switched with Lessons from Laeger. Lessons from Laeger starts farther left, over near the wide crack.

Protection Suggestion
4 bolts + small cams. Sling a horn or use gear as allowed, depending on your choice of start.
Description Suggestion
This route climbs the right most edge and arete of the face above Imaginary Voyage. Follow bolts up and right on good edges and holds. The original FA was done with no bolts, and 4 bolts were added later by a “new” FA party.
First Ascent: M. Lechlinski, R. Walling, J. May and the Manx; bolted by Kevin Daniels later (unaware of previous ascent)
