Boulder up onto a small ledge to reach the start of the real climbing. The crux comes early on and involves pulling moves over a small roof (crux) in a right-facing corner. Continue up the pleasant hand/wide hand crack above to belay on top. There's an easy descent to the climber's right that circles back around the formation.

Stem your way up the short left-facing corner (5.11) and top out onto a ledge system which sits below the bulk of the wall. Traverse right several feet and then launch up the face above to finish in a fun left-facing corner which is stemmed to anchors.

It's worth noting that it's possible to climb easier moves directly below the upper portion of this route and make this a 5.10 route.

Begin with bouldery moves up an offset seam (5.11) as you lieback your way over the lip of a small roof and onto the face above. Continue up featured face to the crux, which lies just above the last bolt and involves technical footwork with sloping handholds.

and then climb that route to it's second bolt. From here the route cuts right out the lip of one roof before continuing up over another roof (crux) to finish at a small stance with anchors.

It's possible to do this route starting with the 1st bolt of Positraction but it doesn't add much other than a bit of rope drag.
