Climb the hand crack in the gully (Shuffleboard) until you can traverse right on a series of holds to the 3rd bolt on Iron Grit.  From here the climb joins Prune Face from it's traverse on the ledge.

In the gully west of the slab, is a short hand crack.  This ends further up the gully, where one climbs a crack on the south facing wall.  This crack is difficult to protect and it has very flaky rock.  It continues on this leftward bow-ing seam until it meets up with the gully again.

This route ascends the right side of the slab to the mid-point, then traverses along the small roof to the left side and follows grooves to the top.  The start of Prune Face is shared with Straight On For You.  Climb the groove up to clip the first bolt.  Surmount the steep section with thin moves, and then begin the fun.  Don't slip right before the third bolt.  After passing the third bolt, achieve the stance below the mid-point "roof", and shuffle left (you can place a small TCO here) to the obvious grooves.  Climb the much easier grooves to the belay anchor, placing small cams and stoppers along the way.  A fun climb, particularly because of the nice, short approach.

This climb ascends the right side of the slab.  Start on the first half of "Prune Face", then follow the bolts continuing straight up the slab at the small overhang instead of traversing right.  The first section is amazing, especially considering it was originally done with only one bolt!  Thin moves up a groove and over the steep section at the begining place you on the slab proper.  From the stance above the first bolt, move up thin slab climbing with the occasional solid hold thrown in.  You don't want to be falling right before the third bolt.  Once attaining the stance below the small "roof", clip the fourth bolt and start up continuous slab moves to the 8th bolt.  I angled left here to the belay station instead of moving up to clip the last bolt.  All in all, quite the entertaining moderate slab climb.

Climb the nice slab past a couple of bolts and some chickenheads. The first 25 feet offer the best climbing on the route. Continue up past 1 more bolt and a couple of optional gear placements to the anchor.

P1 - 5.6 Begin the climb just below and left of the large, dark grey patch that is roughly 12 feet up. Continue up until you spot the first bolt maybe 20 feet up in between two bushes and follow the line of bolts until you reach the chain anchor, supplementing the spaced-out bolts with a couple of medium cam placements until you reach a chain anchor.

P2 - 5.9 From the anchor, continue up and left finding the path of least resistance on the left side through the roof feature, and then traverse right until you can clip the bolt. Easy climbing here, but a fall would be bad. A #4 Camalot worked nicely to offer some protection as you surmount the roof and traverse to the bolt. Once the bolt is clipped, climb upwards towards the large horizontal crack (#3 Camalot) and the 2nd bolt visible above this crack. A few chicken heads and friction moves take you to a reasonable ledge from which you'll spot the anchors off to the left. For me the crux was the last move or two right at the top when the second bolt is at your feet.

The left bolted line on the slab, Iron Grit has a fun bolt 1 to 2 sequence that is nice but too short.  Otherwise it is still a nice climb as it follows Prune Face's finish.

Climb the obvious trough that offers protection in some semi-hidden slots at the back of it. Once the trough ends, head straight up the face passing one bolt and continuing to the anchors. Protection above the bolt is somewhat sparse if you stay on the face. Staying on the face and passing the bolt is the most interesting part of the climb, but feels a bit contrived because of easier climbing just off to the right.

Climb straight up the slab clipping the first bolt and up to the large diagonal crack where a small cam can be placed. The crux is reaching this crack. Continue straight up following two more bolts before angling right at the top to the anchors.

Climb the unmistakable south facing patina face that rests at a friendly angle. Climb past two bolts on your way to nice ledge with an optional 2 bolt chain anchor roughly 35 feet up. Continue on past this anchor toward the upper slab , and then follow the bolts out right through some friction moves (crux) before reaching the chains. Micro cams were helpful in protecting the last couple of moves at the top.
