Today we accidentally went up the climb left of the step at tahquitz. It starts in a corner crack system just right next to maden buttress. It turned out to be a really fun climb. Anyone know what climb this is?
Thanks!

Sounds like it could have been Fools Rush?

Thanks for the reply. I don't think it was fools rush. The roof that capped the corner crack system felt a little harder than stand up flake(.9). I think it started the same place as fools rush but went straight up the corner where fools rush goes right.
Any ideas?

matt.... don't you have a guide book???

Mine are at home, or I'd look it up for you.

I only have the 'classics' one. I don't have the full guide book. We tried to stop at Nomads, but i was closed by the time we got there. If you could look it up it would be greatly appreciated!

Thats the Major Problem with slapped together "select" guide books....

That's Fools Rush, there's a direct variation through the roof.

Left side of this roof, correct?

All of the most sandbagged and terrifying routes at Tahquitz are rated 5.6.
