Another good warmup in the easy alcove area of slabs on the right as you walk in (underneath and to the right of Captain America). Maybe not as interesting as its 5.7 neighboor to the right, but worthy nonetheless. Interesting slab moves that steepen at the top. The direct start is harder than 5.8. Expect a mob scene of families clambering away on busy weekends, but worth a visit when no one is around.
A very hard direct start. If you make the start slightly right it is a great friction climb as you move onto the main line. Past the ledge and continuing up the excellent finger crack. Six bolts, solid 5.8.
To clarify, this route is right of Mr. Wind, so the previous poster is correct. While I was there four of us did this and all felt it to be easier than Mr. Wind (5.7).
Once I led this and set it up as a top rope, I had my girlfriend work the friction start on the left side to get her used to that kind of foot work.
