A rampy, smooth start leads to near perfect -to absolutely perfect- crystal pinching, side pulling and crystal bound crimps. 

  Has finicky, thought-provoking, thin cruxes and many fun moves that make you quickly realize that you are quite a few feet above your last bolt. 

  Bolts become hidden the closer you get to the summit. Prepare for a spicy lead where having a good, clear lead head helps.

 Those that did not get to the first bolt on Patience need not apply. Those that barely made it up Patience should consider fixing a top rope.  

  However, with that warning out of the way, climbers of all levels will be guaranteed to have the time of their lives. Just make sure that you can maintain an attitude that allows for your body to keep going with a lasting, enduring tenacity all the way to the anchors.

Persistence

Patience

Patience is on the south side of Pawn.  This is the downhill side.  Look for a bolt way off the deck.  The first 40 feet or so to the bolt is fairly solid 5.7 friction climbing.  Not good to do unless you are used to the rock.  I gave this climb a vs for very serious, although the protection becomes quite adequate upon clipping the first bolt. 

  This climb has been rated both 5.7 and 5.8, but make sure that you are solid at the grade.  Take your time (patience) and have fun.  Fixed anchors at the top.

Pawn is a spire near the Ten Pins that is famous for its signature route Patience.  It has good rock and is worth a visit.  Like most spires, it only require one pitch to summit.
