.. is called Euro Trash (5.11a) and listed in the Falkenstein guide to Tuolumne Meadows. A friend has done this to approach Middle Earth and Hobbit Book four times.
There is no topo, but the first three pitches are well-bolted 5.8, and can be linked to two pitches with a 60m rope. The last pitch is a bit runout but takes gear in places. The 5.11a mantle is rated soft (maybe 5.10c) but has bolts just below and just above, the latter with a cheater sling so you can aid past it :)
