Tan Panel has sustained face and crack climbing on good rock.

Clip the bolt shared with

Golden Arete

, then continue up and right passing a low crux, and continue on pumpy climbing to the anchors.

Golden Arete is probably the reason you initially hiked up the hill. It is a beautiful panel of tiger-striped granite hiding in a grove of ponderosa pines.  An easy start leads to some tricky but excellent compression moves around bolt 3.

Black Beast is a stout route with excellent rock quality. It has a steep bulge encounter with an interesting sequence.
