Staying positive through an unplanned OW experience- be warned that the right handcrack might be slimey (it was on 11/1/19) my follower decided to try and jam in it anyways and slipped out

Pitch 3 of Rattletale

Lisa leading Pitch 3, RattleTale. This route is uber awesome crack climbing! It may be 10B in a few spots, but there is always a great jam, and you can totally sew it up. I'm just barely a 5.9 Index climber and I can lead all the pitches, give or take a hang or two. It deserves much more traffic than it gets. It's safer than Godzilla, and much better climbing.

A full stretch at 5'3 because the right splitter was very slimey, and I had to reluctantly transition to the OW

Offwidth on the left side of the Pitch 3 chimney. There aren't many offwidths at Index, and this one is particularly clean and has an easy toprope, so why not? Felt 10+ or so. Don't climb it in shorts or a t-shirt.

Will starting up Pitch 1 of Rattletale. The route is a bit dirty and moist for the first 50 feet, then offers excellent, clean climbing for the rest of the route.

Start of Pitch 1. Much drier than when I climbed it in the spring.

Mike coming off P3, good reference for how steep it actually is.
