Follow the approach to the Main Wall of Solaris. Don't Get Me Started begins 35 feet left of Start Me Up, at short face leading to a bushy ramp.
Climb the short face past a bolt, then ramble up the bushy ramp to a steep corner. Climb the corner and the slab above to the anchors. Lower 70' to the start.
Barely worth doing, but could be fun for a novice leader.
I've climbed both the East Slab (5.5) on The Dome and Chouette (5.6) in The Riviera (both in Boulder Canyon), and I thought that this climb was easier than both of those, so I am giving it a 5.4.
It's a great first climb for a beginner. It's a little dirty, but it's okay. The approach is too long to make it worth revisiting, but it is an excellent route to teach someone how to Lead Sport on.
Strange mix of dead easy and a couple of hard (bona fide 5.6, IMHO) moves. Nice view from the anchor ledge. A few loose blocks remaining on this one, but a bit more traffic would solve that problem.
Right, it's not The Nose but this is a fun and easy climb for novice/nervous leaders, kids, etc. As someone else commented, it's kind of a mix of 4th class and a couple of real 5.6 moves, but it's a fun route with beautiful views from the top!
