Description
Stem up the clean obvious fun dihedral with the wavy 3/4" to 1" crack in the back. Classic. A thin part with less face features on the left seems hard. Up high, the crack turns into a pod below a small roof- turn this with pro in a finger crack. Alternatively you can escape right to the Adam Ant anchors (easiest) or left to the Flesh-Eating Gnats anchors.
Location
Obvious open book right of Flesh Eating Gnats and left of Adam Ant.
Protection
Standard Rack of cams and nuts up to 2". Some may want doubles of the #0.75 camalot. 2-bolt anchor.

I gave this a "plus" rating because for the inexperienced trad leader, getting good pro can be a bit challenging. Not to say it doesn't have good pro, it's just not as straightforward as some other climbs. I went left near the roof and over to the anchors for Flesh Eating Gnats. It's definitely run-out at that point, but everything you need is there. You can fit in a small piece (tips size) if you want, or, if you don't have that size (like me) you can just keep going. Excellent climb though!

The pro seemed fine to me; I gave it a 5.9+ rating simply because it seems harder than most White Rock 5.9s...
