I stayed in the left crack the whole way but stepped out left near the top to a jug. Felt 5.8 done this way. Fun route.

Another Bob Dylan song from the 1966 Blonde on Blonde album. The chorus repeats the unforgettable line: "I would not feel so all alone, everybody must get stoned."

Vogel and others list this climb as the right crack, not the left. Fun but short. Great flaring crux!

I've climbed both these routes this season. the route names are switched in Vogels new guide?

I found the left crack to be easier than the right.
5.8? maybe, my friend thought they were a tad harder than 5.7

Actually, the guide (Joshua Tree West) lists Rainy Day Women as the left route.

Sadly had to weight the gear on this one from getting pumped at the crux flare near the top - I got myopic wanting to jam something in front of me but didnt realize there was a sidepull off a crimper to the left. Smears or stemming for feet, some jams and locks with face/a jug at the top. Easy shimmy down back and left. I would say the crux was 5.8 and 5.7 for the lower part.
