Ooze up and right on a tricky slab with sharp holds past 4 bolts before tackling a fun arete feature with bigger holds. Very distinct flavors for both halves of the route. A good warm up.

A mellow slab start with a high first bolt leads to a touchy move to grab a monster hollow flake. Scamper up to the base of a steeper headwall where the rock changes from grey to whitish. Fire this thin sustained section to surprisingly bad clipping holds for the ring anchors. Pumpy and fun despite a bit of a hollow feel

Climb up to a crux at the 5th bolt.  This sequence felt as hard as V9 -- deliberate body position and power will help.  Continue through easier terrain to an interesting move at the last bolt.

While this route does have some glue, I found it to have better rock quality than its neighbors to the left.  The movement is both varied and excellent.

A decent route with nice movement. Expect pretty small holds in a variety of orientations. Decent rests can be found along the route. You'll find two cruxy sections: one near the bottom and one near the top.

Scamper up a bulgy section past a bolt to reach the ledge. Study the crack for a minute, fail to identify holds, and give it your best go anyway. The crack is very textured and sharp but essentially devoid of holds, making the 3rd clip a bit touchy. The right wall may hold the key to this sequence but the bolts are on the left of the crack, rendering the section capped by a large block a bit puzzling. Once you latch on to the block it's hero jug pulling to the top. Felt stout for 10b.

A solid slightly overhanging crux right off the ledge with good protection and plenty of crimps. you'll find the feet to be the most cryptic part of this route. It evens out after the flake into immaculate slab climbing on barely-there crimps and sharp footwork. Worth it if you don't mind cemented holds.

A delicate slab leads to a slightly overhanging section of fun and powerful climbing. Keep your wits about you and subside the pump as you pull past the overhung portion and onto the last few feet of delicate vertical terrain.
