Description:
The climb has two starts, one to the right by a tree (5.8) and one about 20 feet left of the tree that runs up bolts (5.9). First pitch runs to shuts after the mystery ledge move. Rest of climb can be done as one or two pitches, needing natural anchors at the belays. Excellent route with great pro. Descent: rap down Boardwalk

Second ascent by:
had done the ...
...bolted 5.9 start previously. DId the original start this time. It is a very nice pitch. Be careful getting high enough to get in good gear. After that it is well protected and fun. Finished with Balti Porter.

Excellent moderate
The final move before the P1 anchors is definitely a head rush.

good climbing
really like the first pitch and .9 variation. Toe cam makes rolling on the first belay much easier.

Desperate Finish
Did the 5.8 variation. What the guy below me said is pretty much true. I didn't find any placements until I was a good 20' into the route and I placed my smallest aliens and nuts behind many hollow flakes along the way, but for the most part all though the gear is small it is solid, and the climbing is pretty easy all the way to the last move which takes excellent gear.
