Description Suggest change

Who would imagine that the authors of the Clear Creek Classic, Sonic Youth, would stuff a tiny little line in here? Why not? Even The General needs to climb in the rain.

A crimpy start and a clip from the ground will get you into the dihedral and polish the crux. Chase the corner for a few more clips; pop up over the block above the dihedral to clip the anchors. Pretty cool over all, and a lot of pump delivered in 35 feet. Good edge training for the fingers. The Rainy Day anchor will allow you to top rope the 5.13 which is a lot trickier than it looks as well.

Location Suggest change

Rainy Day 12A starts in the middle of the overhang, third route from the right and adjacent to an amazingly powerful 5.13 on its left.

Protection Suggest change

QDs only. This 35 foot route needs 4-5 draws and something for the double bolt anchor at the top.
