There are three distinct cruxes in this climb, and you can easily see all from the ground. The first roof, the mid-way layback, and the second roof. This climbing definitely worth doing if Tattoo wall is over run. The last bolt is a bit tricky to clip as well so be careful.

And yes ... I cheesed the top a bit in my stressed single focus mindset I allowed myself to slip into. :/ Don't be me and cheese the top, there are some good holds up there if you move slowly to obtain them :D
