Taken in halves, this is a disjointed little climb that would (as usual) be great if it got a bit more traffic.  Unfortunately a large spat of scrub oak in the middle of climb seriously detracts from its quality.  I found myself wishing I was sipping scotch rather than playing this game of hopscotch.

Climb a quality but gritty corner (lieback and hands) for about thirty feet before traversing along a short sidewalk to the offending scrub oak.  Tunnel your way upward, reaching the crouton-laden crux above.  Unfortunately, at this point you are out of sight of your belayer, so muster your courage and fire away.  Fun lie-backing awaits, but so does a whipper into the trees if you blow it.  Belay at the intersection of Statis by looping some eroding hoodoos.  Walk off west.

Hopscotch

Stasis

This route was originally done in two pitches, doing it in a single pitch seems to make the most sense.

Climb up the easy groove to some interesting blocks in the middle of the face.  From the blocks, climb the obvious left leaning crack across the face and around the corner to a gear belay on top of the cliff.  The left leaning crack is very similar to the upper portion of Mexican Crack.  It is basically a Mexican crack which feels like 5.11-.  The rock is a bit gritty, but the line is classic and seems like it would clean up reasonably with more ascents.
