Low angle slab.

Step up a series of ledges. Good protection available before each significant move.

A Note on Lowering: Lowering off here can be quite tricky because the bolt line approaches the anchor from an angle. Lowering off directly drops off of several large ledges; their edges are not perpendicular to the rope.

You can lower off the way you climbed up, but be careful to not trip or lose balance because it could result in a swing off a ledge and onto the ground.

You can also lower off directly toward your belayer if you are comfortable enough to maintain control while lowering off the steep angled ledges.

If you are cleaning draws after a lead you can always clip a draw from your belay loop to the belayer's end of the rope to keep you from swinging off course from the bolt line.
