We thought this was Jokers Wild based on the old Southwestern Mountaineers topo               

Topo from around 1980 compiled by Southwest Mountaineers.

 but apparently it is not. Nonetheless, it is a good, well-protected route on excellent rock, worth repeating.

 P1 (40ft, 5.7?): Climb directly up a finger crack to the small tree above. You can also scramble up a ledge heading up/right (low 5th), then angle back left (3rd class) toward the tree. Gear anchor in crack just left of the small tree.

 P2 (80ft, 5.6): Traverse directly left from the small tree toward the big tree with old webbing around it. This starts on a slab with somewhat hidden pro at first (small cams), then turns into a interesting, rather exposed sideways traverse under a small roof (big cams) until a step up gains the ledge with the big tree. Tree anchor.

 Note: P1-2 could be pretty easily connected, especially if you brought 2 ropes to help reduce drag.

 P3 (100ft, 5.7+):  Step out left of the tree and onto the main face of Ace's Face, which has been hidden from sight thus far. Navigate upward on a system of cracks (nuts useful) until the angle eases a bit and larger ledges are reach. Gear anchor in cracks.

 P4 (180ft, 5.9): Locate a fist-width weakness in the roof above and follow cracks to it. Pulling over the roof is the crux of the route, fortunately well-protected. After that, follow cracks upward to the top and build a gear anchor.

Jokers Not Wild?

Jokers Wild

p1:  climb a right facing crack to an intersection with a small roof.  Look for this rather improbable step up to gain the easier climbing above the bulge.  Go straight up, the crux, clipping a fixed pin.  Traverse right to a stance near a bush. 

  p2:  short pitch to establish an anchor near a crack system in the middle of the face. 

  p3:  a long pitch up cracks, climb discontinuous cracks until one can climb a long right to left crack system. 

  p4:  another short pitch near the top of the climb.  Follow weaknesses on left to the shoulder of Aces' Face, aiming for a notch above or go out right for cleaner face climbing, one old bolt (perhaps a couple of 5.9 moves) to the belay.

A clean, northwest facing face about 250 feet high with steep but featured rock of good quality at a consistent angle. The features diminish higher up. Cracks are common but may need cleaning up, as traffic is minimal to nonexistent due to a difficult approach.
