The Flying Nun (listed as East Face in Bjornstad's guide?) is the obvious calcite-encrusted crack line to the right of Holier Than Thou. Begin in a left-facing corner before stepping onto the face and finishing at the aforementioned route's anchors.
To summit, continue on Holier Than Thou's 2nd & 3rd pitches.
Did this route 10/8/09/ "North Face Right" in the book I believe. Sharp calcite. Harder climbing starts at about 30' with mediocre gear and a potential for a fall to a ledge/corner. Sustained. Felt harder than .10a, but still .10-range. Not an easy .10 for certain. Aside from a medium and large (2, 3 Camalot) to start, we were all small gear - yellow/orange/red Metolius, 0.5 and 0.75 Camalot, and a few draws for the merge w/ Holier Than Thou. Despite this long description, I would not recommend this route unless you like long approaches for 1 or 2 star climbing. (Full disclosure: we're a bit weak these days)
