This route climbs the crack system located about 45 feet right of Don't Think Twice.

Begin in a left-facing corner. Near the top move left, then back right into a chimney.

Same start as Don't Think Twice, then move left and climb a finger crack that slants left. Climb a crack through a bulge that arches left.

Scamper up the squeeze slot to the overhung zigzag crack that goes up and over the left side of the roof. Some loose stuff came off, at spots suggesting no previous traffic, even tho in plain sight btwn established lines. Done on a hot day in Feb with a high of 80 F. [Found no documentation for this climb in any of the guidebooks. If there was a previous ascent, happy to overwrite to reflect.]

Climb the face just right of Rainy Day Women up to an overhang. Climb out the left side of the roof and up a fun face past 4 bolts. Gear anchor (1 to 2 inches)

Starts left of a small roof and climbs the fairly steep, light-and-dark-brown mottled face with a thin section down low before easier climbing in the upper section. Gear belay and descend as per

Don't Think Twice

.

The leftmost of 3 cracks.  Fun, but fairly unmemorable.

You've gotta like wide stuff to enjoy this one.  The wide section up top is crux of route.  It makes a difference if you choose right-side or left-side in.

This turned out to be a really good route. Interesting moves, bomber pro, and good rock. It is like a cross between Super Roof and Moosedog Tower.

Climb the approach crack and lob in some med cams or a giant stopper or two. Get up under the roof and sink the bomber pro (2.5" cam) and suss out the roof moves. Get established in the roof and plant a 4" cam into the roof. Move right onto the face and after a couple of easy moves you are at a belay spot up and left of the roof crack.

Belay takes stuff in the 2" to 3" range and don't let your rope get stuck in the roof crack.

Descend over the top and down to climbers left via an easy scramble.  Follow the worn rock.

This is the offwidth crack between Maggie's Farm and Rainy Day Woman. Jim Brink and I climbed it 22 March 2006, but it has certainly been climbed before. It's an easy offwidth that would be a good one on which to learn the technique.

The rightmost of 3 cracks.  An easy start leads to a short, fun corner.
