Although 5.11b/c is the official guidebook rating, the difficulty is highly dependent on the climber's height.  I've heard 6-foot-tall climbers call the route 5.9.  It all depends on what footholds you have to use to reach the crux crimp: the shorter you are, the worse the footholds (and the better your technique must be).

Sustained 5.8 climbing with no real crux, this route is solid for the grade, and will likely present a significant challenge to the entry-level 5.8 leader. Juggy, but overhanging, the climbing necessitates solid technique to keep the pump at bay.  The route rewards climbers who can backstep and keep their center of gravity in close to the wall, but relentlessly punishes those who try and pull themselves up with their arms.

Climb the awkward left slanting ramp feature on small sharp crimps and edges, on the face left of Organic Psychedelic, past 4 bolts.

Mantle onto the starting ledge.  Use your creativity to gain the prominent "mail slot."  Dyno or get fancy to make a very long move to a jug.  Most climbers then go right up a series of hard-to-find crimps, and then hand traverse back left to clip the anchors.

Easy face climbing down low to a crux bulge near the top. Sees little traffic so may be a little dirty.

FA incorrectly listed as Troy Mayr and Geoff Fullerton in the SoCal Sport Guide (Mayr).

Follow bolts out the left side of the obvious roof.

Follow the corner seam just to the right of the large roof.
