Name that route by description PNW edition

The Mexican national soccer team would surprisingly never be able to reach this very fun mixed gear slab route. Edit the bottom half is crack and the top half is bolted with a thank goodness pocket.

Not dreamer

Hint: Think World Cup results.

Hint 2: this route, is close  to a popular flake route named after a track and field event.

Gotta be Semi-Final. (Had to do some sleuthing on those hints - never climbed it - that still count?)

Semi final is correct you should head over to the clem holler area it’s a fun day.

Alright let's try to get this thread humming along with a softball:

A popular objective for new alpine rock leaders and groups, there is only one common route up this volcano. And you know why they built a fence around the Three Sisters don't you?

Three Fingered Jack?  Thielson also fits your description, but seems less likely because more people just scramble it.

You got it Max. But they didn't build a fence around the Three Sisters to keep out Thielson ;)

Another softball: Bagging the FFA of this obvious line was for a long time one of the last problems in the area and the years-long saga featured shoddy reporting in the magazines, chronic uncertainty as to whether or not the line had actually been freed, and culminated in what was reported to be a really awkward moment when the FFA team returned to the ground.  It's description on here also has one of the more classic comment-catfights to be found in the database.

I know this one: Picnic Lunch! Boy do I have some stories about one of the parties involved...

The name of this route is not only a play off the name of a nearby classic, but also a reference to a ridiculous urban legend about an actor who played opposite Julia Roberts' in one of her most famous movies.

Cry of the Gerbil?

I thought that one would take a bit longer! That name always makes me chuckle.

It makes me remember the time when my childhood gerbil escaped its cage and was found on top of the sump-pump in our basement. It looked so sad and miserable, shivering at the bottom of the dark wet hole. 

I'll come up with a route a little later...
