Climb up the middle of the sweeping slab between left facing flakes. After the first bolt, place a #0.5 cam in the crack before reaching the second bolt. Aim for the left side of an overlap. Clip the last bolt below the overhang, then pass it on the right.

A short pitch leads left and up past three bolts to an anchor beneath the left of two overlaps.
P3 - 5.9, 3 bolts
Pass the overlap to the left (7) or straight up through the middle (9). Follow knobby face to the next anchor).
P4 - 5.9, 6 bolts

Climb the fun, and easier, slab up and left past five bolts to the final anchors.
