This is 3 routes right of Dark Shadows.  It starts out with some run out face climbing past two bolts.  Once past the crux you can place a few small cams behind the small flake.  The climbing is easier from here to the chains anyway.  The next pitch is great.  It is mainly thin moves up a thin vertical crack system.   There are rests and good pro along the way but there is a steady supply of tricky moves to make all the way up.  I had a great time on this pitch.  You can just rap from the 2nd station to the first on a 60m rope.  You have to reach down to set up your anchor.  You could rap from the 2nd station to the ground with two 60m ropes.
