If you aren't sure if raptors are breeding here, then listen and watch for defensive behavior such as screeching or diving (links to info). If raptors are breeding in this area please climb somewhere else and let other climbers know.
Pressures on wildlife can be immense and are multiplied by effects of climate change and pollutants. Choosing to climb away from nest sites reduces unnecessary stresses to the birds. Give these animals a chance to thrive.

Description
A nice, sustained route on bullet rock, make sure that you are comfortable with 5.9 - 5.10 moves a body length (or more) above a bolt.
1) 5.9+ (+?) | 150 ft: From the ledge 20-30' below the obvious third pitch crack of Rupley route, follow bolts straight up the face to a bolted anchor.
2) ~5.5 | 70 ft: Ramble up low-angle, juggy terrain, slinging-chicken heads for protection. There's some opportunities for gear but most will feel comfortable without. Look for two belay bolts on the ground to your left once you top out the formation.
Location
On the upper wall left of Rupleys; this is the first bolt line to the left of the third pitch of Rupley Route beginning midway up the wall. Belay either at the bolted anchor on the ramp above the first pitch of Steel Crazy or make a gear belay on the ledge, 20-30' below the top of the second pitch of the Rupley route.
This route can be accessed in many ways, some of the more popular options are:
1) climb the first pitch of Steel Crazy to access the bolted anchor on the ramp above the first pitch (Steel Crazy) belay.
2) climb the first two pitches of Fort Stress, or climb Gargoyle to top out the Fort Stress Tower, then rap to the bolted belay on the ramp below
