Looks nice. Location seems to be left of the South Face,
maybe near Hook, Line and Sinker.
Look forward to seeing more about it.
[edit to add:]
OK, I see now. Both the South Face and Tenaya's Terror veer out left
of the big tower seen in the first photo.
(So Soul Garden is not left of the South Face).

I just wanted to clarify that I had nothing to do with this route/ascent. I merely copied it from Jimmy's facebook feed.
Apparently the line does indeed follow Tenayas Terror after Sheraton Watkins - with a few variations.

So psyched for these guys, the beautiful free route, and the completion of Sean's fantasy. I love the route name.
Sean and I spent a ridiculous amount of absolutely peaceful days together out at Watkins lapping the South Face, working our separate projects, and flying high and free in one of the most beautiful places in the known universe: Tenaya Canyon.
I hope no one else has to die young for me or someone else to get motivated and send free the Bob Locke Memorial Buttress.
I'm currently completely out of shape for anything except scrubbing floors, and too distracted by a human creation project(and associated working for $) to make any headway on rock climbing projects of this magnitude. I hope to rally back someday and do both of these amazing Watkins free climbing experiences.
Love Jake
(Just so everyone knows, Jimmy is a complete badass and crushes ridiculously hard even after months of no climbing and just pulling strings around football stadiums, drinking beer, and dream surfing hotel beds.)

South Face of Watkins. One of my favorite places in this world, even though I've only done the standard route.
Wow. Good job you guys!

A very fitting tribute. Incredible. After just losing a friend and partner I needed very much to be reminded of those words from Sean.
