Description 

This has fun climbing along an intermittent crack-seam, with positive face holds. We thought the lower crux was as hard as the upper boulder problem, and the route seemed about 5.10d overall (staying out of the upper crack). You can place a bomber small wire at the start if the traverse to the first bolt spooks you.

Protection 

QDs, #3 or 4 nut for start.
