Little Rauch That Could

Starting up the first section of Rauch Factor (10a?).  There is an option of placing gear just a few feet above the 4th bolt which will help protect the swing around the arete and traverse left past the MD Route anchor and then toward the Chain Mail anchor. From the Chain Mail anchor head up rock gully, the route continues left and up with delicate and balanced moves fully protected by bolts. (5.9?). Chainmail into LRTC makes for a direct line.
