Awesome route with great bolting on bomber quartzite but bring the pump repellent as the climbing is continuously vertical, crimpy, and technical for such a short route. There are some key holds that are hard to identify from the ground due to the swirled nature of the rock, so do your best to read it in advance, but realize you may have to do a little on-sighting while on route. And just when you think you've crimped enough, voila!, an interesting undercling and some better holds finish things off. Well worth the hike just for this one route but there are plenty of other interesting ones right nearby.

Clip the first bolt which is shared with Fido, then climb up and left following a flake system with some loose blocks to a two-bolt anchor.

A bouldery start leads to a good rest ledge and an opportunity to place pro in the crack (it's nice insurance if you were to blow the second clip). Once you start pulling the roof, steep, fun, and exciting moves take you all the way to the top. Don't delay; keep pulling for the anchors.

Be aware: The spiky boulders at the base are not an enticing landing zone and the bouldery start is worth paying attention to. Stick clip recommended.

This route shares the first bolt with Roofus, then splits off left up the finger crack below Roofus's second bolt.  Follow the short finger crack to a final bolt and some tricky finishing moves.  Clipping the chains is the crux.

The first route immediately to the left of the main gully splitting the crag apart.  Do a scramble to the belay station; it is definitely desirable to have a few cams to setup an anchor.  Otherwise, blowing the first bolt would have serious consequences.

After that, bouldery sequences through reasonably spaced bolts.

A short and thuggish jaunt up an overhanging face.  Difficult climbing down low to moderate climbing above.

An easy start leads to powerful and bouldery sequences above.  Multiple hard moves punctuated by decent rests lead to a final crux that spits climbers.
