It has several cruxes at the beginning and midway of the climb.  The route is thin with some jugs here and there. It gets morning shade until 2 pm.

The 1st pitch is mixed (gear and bolts).  It starts with a bouldery crack move that takes protection (5.10a) and ends at two chain bolt anchors. 

  The 2nd pitch is for me the cruxy pitch (5.11b). It is all bolted.  The route start with a roof and ends with a slabby section to a two chain bolt anchors.  

  Descent: You can walk off or do two Rappels with a 60 meter rope.

The climb is the right crack of the West facing side of the wall.  It is a fairly easy climb that can be divided into two pitches.  It takes all pro's if you start underneath the roof on the first pitch or if you start on Elyssa the Rowan, which it shares both anchors with, it can be a mixed route.  On the second pitch, start traversing right towards the crack from Elyssa the Rowan bolted anchors.  It will finish on bolted anchors or you can build your own.   

  The second pitch is a mellow pro climb, but it is a new route so some things might still come off of it. I preferred combining the first pitch of Roeing the Rascal and then doing the crack, but the first ascent was from the roof which is fun, tricky, and still very dirty after a lot of cleaning.   

  Descent: You can walk off or do two Rappels with a 60 meter rope.

P1(5.9) Climb bolts up 5.9 ground to easy ramp to 2 bolt anchor.   P2(5.10d) Begin balancy, slightly overhung "stepped" climbing to summit. 

  1st pitch may be easily climbed and TR'd without getting involved in p2. 

  Descent: Rap twice to ground.

This wall currently has six routes which two of them have two pitches.  The routes are a mix of trad and sport but mainly sport.  The rock quality is good but because is a brand new wall there is a chance that there is still some loose stuff, so please wear a helmet. The wall will be in the shade in the morning and the northwest facing will be in the sun on the afternoon. It is a fun little spot!
