Description Start about 15+ feet left of Right On below a water groove. Follow the water groove past 7 bolts more or less directly up toward the long crack system just left of Right On (This crack system comprises the upper pitches of Orange Flake). Move left near the bottom of the crack, passing an 8th and last bolt, then traverse directly left to a 2 bolt anchor. A second pitch has been top roped climbing directly up the slabby face above the 8th bolt (5.10).
Location Start about 15+ feet left of Right On below a water groove.
Protection Rappel from the communal anchor with one rope.

| If I might presume to out-guess the first ascentionist, I believe this route is Do Rein Me. *
It actually starts about 15+ feet left of Right On and follows a water groove past 7 bolts more or less directly up toward the long left crack system (which is followed by the upper pitches of Orange Flake). Move left near the bottom of the crack, passing an 8th and last bolt, then traverse directly left to a 2 bolt anchor (85+ foot rappel from here).
FA: Todd Swain, Donette Swain, June, 2004.
- (The Gaucho Marx description seems to describe this route, but that isn't correct -- Gaucho Marx begins further left -- actually climbing directly up to a passing over the Orange Flake feature. See comments for that route.)
