Description
So this old obscurity has been retro bolted and though it is still moderate it doesn't seem like 5.5. I felt it was 5.7. Start just left of Men In White Suites and follow bolts over a couple bulges and finish up the weird ramp feature near the top of that route finishing at the top of the cliff above The Wimpy Gilman Ridge.
There are many moderate routes you should go out of your way for before you get to this one.
edit- At the crux bulge, climbing to the left of the bolts, using the jugs in the small corner ( can get a kneebar) before pulling back around right, will keep the grade in the lower range. Direct is fun too, but may be 5.7
Technically this may be a double rainbow, as the original trad line by the name followed the lower corner out left.
