I was also thinking that one might have similar symptoms if they try and climb Delirium Tremons mid-day in August after shutting down the D&D the night before!

Next clue: 

“I applaud your expansive curiosity. I admire your yearning to learn more and more about our mysterious world as you add to your understanding of how the game of life works. Your greed for interesting experiences is good greed! It is one of your most beautiful qualities. But now and then, there comes times when you need to scale down your quest for fresh, raw truths and work on integrating what you have absorbed. The coming weeks will be one of those times”

Free Will on the Illusion Wall?

Regardless, thank you for pointing me in that direction. Shamefully have never been up there but it looks great!

@Garrett

You’re quite warm actually. But that is incorrect.

Keeping with the theme, I named this route for a hit song that is actually a medley of two tunes from the musical “Hair.” Hint: The route was originally a top rope problem that was named for the group who performed this song.

PS: You’re on the honor system to not search my MP contributions while trying to solve this one.

Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In for the route previously known as Fifth Dimension, in the Upper Gorge! Process for finding the answer: 

  1. Google songs from Hair
  2. Find the most popular- Aquarius
  3. Repeatedly search over and over again the MP Route list for Aquarius (I think I was spelling it wrong or something...)
  4. Got the guidebook out and very quickly found the route Fifth Dimension. 
  5. Used MP route list to search for Conflicted Goddess and then finally found the slash route name! 

Whew......

While we know that socialism does not equal communism, this self-described socialist climbing legend has an absolute splitter route named after him at a communism themed crag. What's the route?

Ok, I am still unclear if Idaho should be included in this game?! 

I'm always surprised by the lack of crowds on this fun route.  It's less than a 26 second approach to this short crack with a short name. I ended up building an anchor at the top of this crack with #3-4s & rappelling off the backside.
