Brown Baggin' follows the line just left of the hanging rope. The 12b variation goes up the orange headwall just left of the dihedral mid-route. 11+? variation proceeds up the dihedral. Routes re-join to the left of the roof.

[Hide Comment] I think this climb and Spinal Spasms are in the wrong order. This route is immediately right of Climbing While Intoxicated and left of the obvious roof. Don't get suckered onto the ramp below the roof where there is an old bolt, stay on the face where the new bolts are. Feb 12, 2019

[Hide Comment] Really fun route, and it's definitely harder if you stick to the new bolts. This said, the ramp variation is a lot of fun. Feels like 11+ to me. The first old bolt seems solid. The second appears to have a Leeper hanger--historically cool, but possibly sketchy--but the new bolt to its left works for either variation. My short guy beta is to climb the ramp variation, then hang draws on the 12b on the way down. Jan 20, 2020

[Hide Comment] My favorite 5.12b in the Box thus far. I highly recommend this route! The crux is tricky, but once you figure out the beta, it's totally doable. I did not do the ramp variation. Jun 13, 2020
