The Solution

Begin from the middle tree on the Ledge With 3 Trees (where Black Tiger begins). Climb straight up a crack (fingers and hands) to a narrow ramp that ascends to the left. Pull up on a jug and clip the first bolt. Continue straight up past 3 more bolts. The rock is super solid face/slab with amazing/delightful/necessary solution holes. The crux is perhaps midway along the bolts.

This route ascends the left side of the beautiful face/slab of the Southwest Buttress about 25 feet left of

Black Tiger

.

Note: a new trail leads to the bottom of the buttress and up along the south side to the top of the Southwest Buttress, though there is little need to go there now that proper anchors have been installed. From the point where the new trail meets the bottom of the buttress, scramble left and up maybe 25 feet to the ledge with 3 trees. All the routes but

Jagua

r begin from this ledge.

Gear from 1 inch to 2 inches. QDs for gear, 4 bolts and a 2 bolt anchor with rings. Lower off 80 feet to the Ledge With 3 Trees. A short, easy down climb takes you back to the approach trail.
