In the guide book I found this route and I have always been intrested in bigwall so I figured this would be a good one to get the feet wet on and get into the swing of belay changes ad such. Anyways my main question. Is the ledge you belay from bolted or is there ancho building necessary?? Also if anyone knows exactly how to get to this route post up.
Thanx
Nick

I've climbed this route several times. It's decent. you hit a finger crack to a traverse under a roof to a good ledge. On the ledge you can build an anchor, however the ledge is huge so it's nearly like you are belaying from the ground. There are a few blocks that could possibly come off over the ledge. Gear is decent throughout, but there are a few thin spots near the top. Second pitch is fairly easy climbing with maybe one or two interesting spots for the grade. There are no bolts or shuts anywhere on the climb. As for getting to the route, it's at Beauty Mtn. Go past the brain and you will eventually come to it. If you see supercrack then you've gone too far. The first "pitch" is kinda tucked away in a little cave type area. Send me a PM if you need detailed directions.

Sounds interesting. What's the grade and what's the length?

Not sure of the exact number, but there aren't a ton. Most of the ones that are available have short first pitches.
