Great face climbing with mostly great gear. Almost as good as it's neighbors to the right, Competitive Edge and King Snake, though a bit more exciting. Fairly straightforward and enjoyable climbing to the mini roof then game on. Protection at the roof seems adequate but less than perfect and adds to the committing feeling of getting to the bolt above. Thanks to whom ever replaced the bolt with a new fatty.  I was surprised and quite happy to find such a confidence inspiring bolt due to the nature of the rock below and the not so straight forward climbing above. Work out the moves above the bolt that will eventually lead to a positive hold, take a deep breath and continue on easier ground to a stance and gear above. From here, it's fun and run plate climbing to the ledge above. A traverse left ( do not forget about the 2nd) will get you to anchor possibilities.

Climb to the single bolt (5.8+). Make the crux moves up the slab straight above/slightly right of the bolt, to a short thin crack (small cam) about 15 feet above. Move up and finish through the plates above. Finishes at the same location as Competitive Edge.

Great thin crack to cool plates. Nice ledge and crack for anchor at 105' (if you're toproping), but must do short second pitch to get to 3rd/4th walk-off.

More or less straight up crack climb.  There are other routes to the left (Slither) and right (Poacher and Challenger) of this route, but this is the only route on the cliff which looks 5.7.
