Hard first half!
The second half is a waste of time for a 5.11b climber, and a little run-out given how loose some of the holds on the upper face are.

While chossy, movement is still fun.
Pretty novel route at malibu, enjoyable moves in the first half.
large flat hold at the 3rd bolt felt flexy, might rip sooner or later. Constant stream of small pebbles exfoliates down onto the belayer.

Second ascent by:
Super fun climb
Really enjoyed this one. A little pumpy early from the small proximity between bolts, and sharp at certain holds. But all in all a great climb and different from the other routes at Malibu, with great laybacks and interesting foot placement.

Great climb but needs a little traffic
Fun sustained movement in the bottom five bolts with creative feet. Then easy pockets to the top. A great new route that will get even better with more traffic!
