Description 

OK, so the opening crack takes gear (as do other places on the route), but that's not the local ethic, so just enjoy the nice moves. Even a hard core traddie like me enjoyed this one.

Don't let the huge roof intimidate you, it's not the crux and not even that hard.

Climb the obvious wide crack (5.7), then veer left to a small bulge and funky move (crux). Up the nice face to the overhang, then through it on huge jugs to the anchors.


Location 

At an obvious wide crack to the right of the opening block of Bobby D's Bunny.


Protection 

11 bolts + bolted anchor. 60 M rope.

Edit: Not to be confused with Mrs. Field's Follies (5.8), which has the very nice roof finale. (Both start in the crack.)

DaveB, are you thinking instead of Mrs. Fields Follies, which has the stame start but heads right after the crack? If I remember correctly, the right hand line had a fairly large roof to surmount, but Geisha Girl's crux was lower without a huge roof.

Oh yes, my mistake. You're right, Mark, I was thinking of Mrs. Field's Follies. I stand corrected.

Actually, they both have a roof; however, the crux of Geisha Girl is indeed lower down at a bulge. The roof is about 5.7.
