Description:
The furthest route to the left. Crux section is from the bottom up to a little bit before the second bolt, and it is a touch runout just before the second bolt. Fortunately, you're not real high at that point, and the holds for clipping are bomber. Get your hand up to the horizontal crack/mini-rail, and you're good. Smooth, 5.9-ish sailing with decent variety from there on up.

wierd.
Did it once, probably won't do it again. If you're not totally comfortable leading 10b watch out! if you peel off the crux your belayer may get a black eye. It lets up significantly after the 2nd bolt.

Decent. Not great, but decent.
Inured a pulley in my right ring-finger last October while hanging with three fingers off that slot-pocket next to the first bolt. Decided later that I can just as easily cram all four fingers in there. Getting healthy now, and made the route just fine. BTW - I love the look of the curve of this wall when viewed from the top of this route!
