70m, 2 pitches.
The route is 75ft to the right of Black September. You can't miss the obvious flake on the first pitch of the route, and the cracks that make an "X" on the second pitch.
First pitch 5.7+ starts with an interesting handcrack and ends at a ledge. Traverse left on the ledge and climb up the flake (HUGE gear). The flake ends at a ledge where you traverse left and set up a belay for P2 or right and ab off finger licker anchors (or even top rope that route).
The second pitch has two variations. The original (5.7) takes the diagonal on the "X" that the route is named after. The variation goes straight up. The offwidth above the belay is 5.8 and crux on the second half is a couple of moves of 5.9+. Both variations finish on a short thin hands section to the bolted anchor.
