Description
The Regency is a large crag and certainly has climbing other than the documented line on El Camino Royale. The crag is large enough, in fact, that other scrambling opportunities offer climbing with no overlapping area and none close to it, as well as of a significantly different vantage point and rock character. One such line is the NE Ridge.
From the base, head up and North along to the last of the various aspects and buttresses and climb that up over 3 overlapping slabs from bottom to top. The rock is mostly very good and clean. It is a 3-star line if climbed through the best and most continuous features.
To borrow from Nick's comment below, perhaps for greater clarity since a few people have reported poor conditions on their scramble: "the key to keeping the climbing fun and clean on this route is to maintain your position just a little ways down and climber's left of the crest of the NE Rib. Staying true to the ridge proper gets you into some stupid not fun terrain that is harder than 5.0. Keeping to the cleaned, mostly lichen free rock about 100' or so below the ridge crest will keep the smiles coming :) "
