Magnificent route.
Pitch 1: Start on a sloping ledge following a hand crack with chicken heads to a small roof with one bolt afterwards. Belay under another roof on a nice mossy ledge with flowers. 1 bolt gear to 2” 5.9
Pitch 2: Jump-clip the first bolt. Pull the roof on left side and stand up on a small ledge. Balance move right then runout the featured slab clipping bolts to a nice right facing corner splitter. Continue up blocky terrain reaching a hanging slab with a bolted corner above. Climb the techy corner to an exciting arete finish. 7 bolts gear to 1” 5.11
Pitch 3: Straight to the roof! Climb the 4 dimensional slab passing a bolt to underclings in the roof. Switch directions and jump for the upper corner. Hold on and mantle the crystal band. Follow the corner and pull out to a belay below another roof. 5 bolts gear to 1” 5.12-
Pitch 4: Step right and high step into the roof. Knee bar and finger jam and lip pinch and palm scum over... relax at the jug and finish up a short bulgy finger crack. 3 bolts gear to .3” 5.12-
From here continue up John’s Pitch to the diving board. Take it to the summit for the Full Half Mile High.
