Back at the Ranch

As a variation to the first pitch of "

Meanwhile

", you can do "Back At The Ranch".

The two routes share the first 3 to 4 bolts. After this,

Meanwhile

goes straight up, while Back At The Ranch breaks right for about 10 bolts of fun climbing. The climbing is similar to

Meanwhile

, although stemming opportunities make the route somewhat less continuous than Meanwhile.

Don't think this one is easier, though - some thin moves up high with poor feet make Back At The Ranch just a tad more difficult.

It shares the same anchor as

Meanwhile

.
