Description 

This is a worthwhile face climb, located just to the left of Second Thoughts. Climb on thin edges leading up to a roof. Optional gear under the roof but you don't really need it. Pull over the roof and climb past a few more bolts to the anchors. I remember the crux being the thin stuff at the start, but the Supertopo shows the crux being after the roof.

Protection 

7 bolts, 2 bolt anchor/rap
2.5" piece optional
