Onsight ascent by:
tricky bulge at top
.10a crux is at the top of the route. Took me a bit to figure out the sequence.

Great route, first .10a Onsight!
Crux for me was at the bottom, I started the route from the top of the small flake, dropped my body to the right into a lie back position, then used the face to stem my way up past the crux. The rest of the route seemed like sustained .9, with lots of reachy face crimpers and jugs.

Fun route
Typical 5.9 Josh slab. Fun, boulder moves at the bottom to get to the second bolt.

Fun route but 2nd pitch is not worth it
The first pitch is classic Josh slab climbing, 2nd pitch is "okay" but not worth the effort needed for the descent (or solve this problem by bringing 2 ropes). Route is adequately bolted (20-30ft+) and I actually felt more unsafe on the descent than I did on the route.
Also, do the park a favor and bring a knife with you for the descent, there are lots of old, sun-bleached slings that should be cut and removed. If you feel unsafe during any part of the descent, there are lots of boulders that can be slung for short rappels.

2 bolts, R rating
Pretty tame for a Josh .8 slab. Great moderate friction climbing if you don't min a bit of a runout.

Fun route with a very demanding OW to finish things off.
First half felt like typical josh 5.9, the offwidth at the top attempted to kick my ass, but I held my own with a single #3 in hand and made it to the top (in the dark).
Bring some big pro if you want the OW well protected, if not then just suck it up and let your body be the pro.

Second ascent by:
great route
Solid gear, delicate footwork on the face and enough bomber jams to keep your hands happy. Crux (.10b) was pulling over the bulge at the top.

fun, but soft for its grade
Felt much easier than 5.9. Fun route but nothing to spectacular.
I led this route.
