Stay on trail when shooting pictures or someone who worked really hard to restore the area might beat you to within an inch of your worthless life. Climb up through a highball boulder problem to clip first bolt. Move up and through clip bolt 2, then pull slot and move L passing other bolts to move straight up to the roof. Clip bolt at lip and finish shrough roof to face/crack moves and anchors.Descent Options:

Hang Dog ascent by:
Great line
Don't wait too late in the day for this pumpy-headfest. All the bolts are there, even the one you can't see while panting under the roof. Onsight with 2 falls = hangdoggy.

Flash ascent by:
Pumpy
Somewhat heady at the second bolt, especially when hanging the draws. I wouldn't want to fall there, although the climbing isn't that hard.
The rest of the climb is pumpy, with a couple of tough moves. The crux seems to be the pump.

Onsight ascent by:
Pumpy!
This is a great route. Tough little bulge down low. Don't hang around too long under the roof or you might not make it.

Solid 10, maybe 10+
Second bolt is a bit run out, screw up this clip and you will deck for sure.
