Description 

This excellent route is to the right of "Roseanne". The climbing is mostly easy with some exciting run-outs and routefinding.
Climb easy face to a ledge (5.4).
Climb up past a short left facing corner, then past a bolt, then up and right to a belay (5.8).
Climb up to a 5.8 lieback, which leads to a belay.
A left facing corner leads to another ledge (5.7).
From the right end of the ledge, climb 5.8 to a left facing corner, which leads to a belay with two bolts.
A 5.8 pitch leads past two bolts to a belay from three bolts.
Another 5.8 pitch leads past one bolt to the walk off.

Standard rack.
