An easy slab leads to a 15' crack that is well protected up to a 2-bolt anchor. No gear until you hit the Black Tide roof.

Description:
Not a good choice for those breaking into the grade. Long runout on the second pitch (5.5 climbing) with no gear until you hit the roof. The roof is quite fun, though.

Fun
The roof is rad. I exited it left. The straight-up looked pretty dirty. The route is runout before the roof, but it's not hard climbing.

no gear beneath the feet
Once you head off on the second pitch, enjoy the runout. It's long. The route didn't excite me much, but the roof finish really puts some air beneath your feet. I would climb it again just for that last 10 feet of climbing. Though I would give the route as a whole an "R" rating at 5.5 climbing, the crux roof finish gets a "G" rating at 5.7 climbing.
