Description 

This route is located just above the lower slab area where the wall turns to vertical at a flat grassy area.

Climb a short slab pitch (5.6)to a two-bolt fixe anchor. Step right from the anchor a make a couple of hard moves up to a ledge. Fire straight up using a large flake on the right and thin crack on the left. Stem wide and up to a short traverse right to a good stance. Fire up steep wall clipping two more bolts and reach the anchor. Caution: a 60 meter rope will not reach the ground.

I did the route in one pitch but can easily be done in two.

Protection 

Fifteen quickdraws will get you to the anchor.
