This is one of the newer free routes in Zion National Park that I've done twice now. It's just off the Angles landing trail and has a pretty moderate approach. This climb throws a little of everything at you from fingers to chimney and a little face climbing too. All the belays are fixed anchors and you get off the route with two rappels. Be careful pulling the ropes on the first rappel though because the rope can fall into the crack just above the anchor and get stuck. (happened to me the first time I did this route but we were able to climb up a short ways, get the rope out and then down climb.)
Here's the topo...
And here a few pics my buddy Jake took with his iphone (not the best but it's all we had that day)

Joe French hanging out at the second belay.
Me starting up the third pitch.
Me in the chimney on the third pitch.

pretty good quality for an iPhone. I also hope that the next rain will wash all that red paint off the rocks that marks the route.
