The face above the large ledges at the top of Shaeffer's Delight and Ballantine's Blast.  There is one bolt on this face next to the climber shown in the photo.  The face has some loose rock and is of mediocre quality, but is a decent alternative if you want one more pitch of climbing before descending.
