Past most of the climbs, are 2 bolted routes next to a "waterfall". This is the left-most line. It only climbs well in low runoff. Avoid spring, early summer, and windy south winds, as this will coat the cliff. A tricky start up over 2 mini-roofs. This is followed by easier but not by much face climbing, angling right at the end.

2 bolts up top for the anchors, and 4 draws, **maybe 5 draws. Also bring a runner, as it may be needed.

The move through the roofs at the beginning definitely didn't feel like 9+. The only way through I could figure out was climbing on the left and then making a desperate leap to the small ledge just above and right of the first bolt. The climbing eases considerably after the third bolt - its a bit runout but maybe 5.2
Dirty, weird, and discontinuous climb. Worst route at the Industrial Wall by far.

Trickey start, but if you take your time and figure out the sequence it can be done smooth and not any harder than 5.9. But it takes a little to figure it out.

I agree with Andrew that first move is not 5.9. Or maybe it is if you are 6'7" like my partner who was able to do it the right way. I also went left and did the leap of faith. The next move are good up until the runout traverse. The runout isn't bad don't let it scare you.
