It follows an "elephants trunk" thru the center of the rock. Near its end, we found the rightmost ending the best.

Benchmark

Crux moves past the first 2 bolts on a friction slab lead higher up to a small roof. Passing the roof on the left is 5.10a and on the right is 5.8.

A varied route which ends with its own anchor just left of Benchmarks'. It tends up and right.

Easy slab leads to an undercling and the start of the difficulties up a shallow and delicate groove that relents to easier terrain the last third of the route.

Easy entry moves take one to the 1st bolt. The second bolt is side-clipped from out left as is the technical entry to the crux section which is traversed into. Extreme underclings with a strenuous compression move on the steep friction establishes the climber for the following moves to bolt 3. The climb eases considerably thereafter. Take a little care on the 5.9 finishing moves after the last bolt because of the proximity of possible ledging.
