Rattletale.
A quick day trip: woke up at 6 and were back home by 5. Whole goal was to climb the pretty looking Rattletale route (3 pitch, 5.10b). We’ve seen the photo of the classic pitch 2 for years and finally got around to climbing it. Very fun if pretty strenuous – the corner overhangs by a few degrees. Pitch three is pretty unique as well. Small package but good climbing – worth the 20-ish minute approach.
