[Hide Comment] Scream Seam is the original name from long ago. Somebody who had no connection with the FA decided they would call it "california noon" - which would be a lousy name even if they put the route up.

Why do people rename routes that are older than they are? This rename should be abandoned and forgotten Dec 2, 2011

[Hide Comment] For the record, this is listed as "California Noon" in Brueckner's April 1990 Woodson guide. That being said, I defer to Ron. Jun 10, 2020
