Description
Follow the right leaning hand and fist crack, an old bail out (old bolt and piton) is about 40 feet off the ground. An RP can help protect a constriction in the crack after that. After the crack, move to the right and come out to a ledge, may be a 15 ft runout to the next bolt/placement. Finish the climb with a couple fun face moves going up towards a two bolt anchor.
This is good climb for a summer morning, not too far from the arroyo trail.
Location
A short hike up the slabs in the canyon that heads east from the Nose takes you to this climb. There is a good topo of this and other routes in the main page of The Citadel. Second Thoughts is an obvious left-facing crack that goes up towards the right. Some hangers to the right of the crack can be seen from the ground.
Two-bolt anchor shared with Romper Room. A 60 meter rope is long enough to rappel. Anchor bolts may need replacement/back up.
Protection
Standard rack and a couple big cams.
