Low crux leads to mellow climbing and no hands rest before crux bulge. Go a little left for slightly easier rating or stay directly over bolt line for full grade. Super good.

Cactus Patch (direct)

Either Way

From SummitPost.Org:Tommy Blackwell and Chris Grieg put this up in December 2016. He suggests that it is 5.7 left of the bolt line and 5.8 to the right. You can also go further right and find variations that feel 5.9 and 5.10 (mantle to right of the 5th bolt) . By Greenbelt standards, it's a pretty long route (about 45'). The rock is not (yet) polished. 5 bolts, a bit runout to Bolt 5, but a fall wont mean decking.

Start under the left starting bolt. Crux is the start. Cruiser ledge pulling to chains.

Climb the first 2 bolts of Cactus Patch, move right to clip a new gluein near the  old piton. Easy traverse to the ledge and clip another new gluein, continue to the right and clip the last bolt of Heaven's Hug. Exposed climbing to attain that last bolt. Finish on Heaven's Hug's anchors.

Bolted variation of Cactus Patch. Starts under the right most bolt of the Terrace and climbs straight up.

The Terrace is the short section of wall between New Wall and Great Wall. Why it usually gets its own listing I'm not sure but its tradition. There are a couple of bolted routes with several variations.Watch for small rock falls. Over the years many climbers have been struck by rocks from marble to golf ball size. A helmet here is not a bad idea.
