Description This route lies on the east wall of a narrow north-south corridor just east of Perpetual Motion. The corridor cuts through the clump, providing the most direct route between Perpetual Motion and Star Wars Rock. The north end of the corridor is a short ways west of Hoser on the north side of the clump. About midway through the corridor, look for a steep finger-eating thin crack across from an overhanging corner (Rainshadow). Insert your digits and torque your way to the top. Remember: pain builds character.
Protection Stoppers and micro-cams.

| Isn't this climb actually called Knack in the Vogel guide? We were up there last weekend and the description above of this climb sounds exactly like the Knack route. It did feel a bit more like 11a to me than 10c (Vogel gives Knack a 10c) so maybe the rating is correct. Anyway, Knack is a great route which deserves more traffic. I'll have to go back for Rain Dance if they're not the same route. |

| Also think this is the same as Knack. I followed this, and found it quite hard on the blunt end. |

| According to Randy's guide, this route (Rain Dance) is only 5.8 and 0/5 stars. Alan must have got this description mixed up with Knack. Admin request - can we clean up this confusing mess? |
