This route starts with some fingers and hands then fists at the top. The crux, especially if you are short or have small hands, is getting yourself into the top section. It's wide and flaring for a move or two, then there's great fist jams and face/arete features.
If I have the wrong name with this route, let me know and I'll change it.
Location
This route is located to the east of the main area. If you walk along the base to the east and look up, this will be the first set of anchors that you come to.
Protection
Standard rack. There are two bolts at the top with quick links. There are also two more bolts with chains at the very top, set back 3 or 4 feet. With a two 4 ft runners you can set up an easy top rope.

Yes the name is correct, although I believe the FA is Gallagher, or maybe Gallagher/Menendez?
The route name comes from when we were all putting up these routes, we'd never see anyone except the occasional rock hound. One day we saw that someone had spelled marry me becky out with the quarried RR rocks near the edge of the hill (probably still somewhat remains). We lauged about it but 2 hrs later as Kevin was leading the FA on this route a young man came up over the hill at the message, then looked surprised and maybe upset over at our posse. Then a woman arrived, and the young lover went down on one knee, we watched with dutiful attention, just out of ear shot, and when the bottle of wine was brought out of the knapsack we clapped and cheered and the rest is history.
Great route. I highly recommend a minimum of 2 blue Camalots (#3) for the upper half of climb- it's a perfect fit in the lower off-width section and can also be useful in upper part as well. You can also get a #4 higher in the off width but wouldn't need if you had more blues.

Short Tour, at 5.9, is considerably harder. (Super Crack is 5.8)
