Name that route by description PNW edition (#2)

Hint: P1 of this route is a popular and classic test piece that, as the name Through Thick and Thin might suggest, has a wide section and a thin section on it.

You got it Garrett! 

For the history/guidebook nerds, A Climber’s Guide to Washington Rock: Darrington, Index, Leavenworth by Don Brooks & David Whitelaw in 1982 called P1 of Japanese Gardens Through Thick and Thin, despite the 1976 Carlstad & Brooks guide calling it Japanese Tea Garden and the 1976 Beckey guide and the 2000 Cramer guide calling it Japanese Gardens.

I’ll continue using info from the guidebook- 

“One of the longest unbroken bolt ladders you’ll see anywhere…

One of the safest aid routes in the world.”

Rapunzel’s back in rehab?

Not that aid climb. 

Fly boys (mostly kidding but could be a legit guess)

This was my guess

Hahahaha! That’s fair but the sections that do go free on this route are at 12a and there is mandatory aid on P2.

Another Monkey line, this route shares a start with the previous route. “Smiths’s finest long route combines the best climbing of ____ ____ and _________ ______ in four distinctive pitches”

West face variation direct and monkey space?

I am referencing a single route, sorry for the confusion. My quote is from the route description in the guidebook and thought I would hide the routes in the description to make it a bit more challenging.

Northwest Passage

Name this exceptionally hard crack climb at the PNW's premier limestone crag.

Enter the dragon?

Got it!

Just curious, can you add a link to the route? I couldn't find it. Wondering which it is.

Guessing it is the route in The Fins on Solstice wall.  5.13c/d R.

Not sure how to link in the app.
