Description:
Blank Page starts from the base of the fallen boulder, the rightmost route on Serpent Wall. The first bolt is high, leaving a leader exposed, but the initial moves are no more than 5.8 - very juggy and positive with plenty of feet and hands. The section from the third bolt to the anchors is the hard part - it's nearly vertical and pretty washed out with very few and small crimpers, and getting the right feet is key.

Oops
Somehow the first bolt got unclipped once I went past it, so I essentially soloed up to the second bolt. Scary.

Enjoyed it
The start and finish are the meat of this climb. I prefer thin face climbing and this is what it offers at the top. There is a key finger pad hold you need to find in order to make the final move to the anchors. Feet are also critical when make the last move.

yet another hard but Meh thin finish
Damn, I finally used this dubious "meh" word. I'd zero-star this except perhaps it could help prep for longer thin sections of Bolt Talk and its ilk.
BETA SPOILER...get the no-hands-rest. LH low sidepull crimp; RH knob crimp; LH high above the thin horizontal ridge to a better crimp. The ridge itself isn't good enough.
