This route is, for the most part, an Off-width. The cruxes are right at the start and another hard part at the finish. So wedge yourself in there and start the loathsome process of going up. Be careful not to wedge yourself too deep in there otherwise upward progress will be a whole lot harder. Enjoy!

The Wedge

The Dark Corner

Razor's Edge

Frosted Flakes

The route ascends a chimney that is in a deep corner, so this is a nice and cool route in the hot summer time. There are two cracks that run parallel up the entire climb and offer good placements for the length of the climb. Jam and chimney you way up, exit the chimney to the right and climb through some dirt and trees until you get to a flake you can built a belay anchor in. 3rd class walk off.

Razor's Edge is a steep, thin and difficult lieback up a corner with a finger crack. The route is hard right off the start and keeps up for a long ways. the entire first half is sustained and solid 5.11 until you get to the upper section. The whole climb is along a steep finger crack in a leaning corner; halfway up, the corner turns sharply to be a strenuous undercling and then "mellows" out a bit at the top to 5.10 climbing. Bring tape and muscles!

Frosted Flakes is a series of flakes that lead upwards through fun 5.8 lie-backing and jamming, it's a relatively short route but fun. The route starts with an easy wide section up to the flakes, lie back until you'll transfer to the outward flake by stepping out and reaching left, continue up the corner to the top.
