Five new bolts to new ring anchors. Hazardous ledge if setting top-rope, with very long tie-in and backup line. Beware of ledging hazard to third bolt. Most falls at the rings.

Description:
To the right of the Amphitheater section, the right half of the Tall Gray Wall has a slight depression below a small ledge: two bolts there show this route, and are the crux. Going right using the dark flake area and reaching over to those bolts is the usual 5.9 line. Leading straight up the first two bolts is much harder (see "Black Rain Direct"). Taking a line to the left of the bolts is a neglected 5.8 variation.Descent Options:
It is a long way to Three Bears Gully. A minor gully at 'Devil' is difficult, especially down and with a pack.

Ascent Note
I had two broken ribs last time I climbed this route and had to hangdog quite a bit. I made it with no falls this time. It was more fun too.
It's more sustained than Husband, to it's left, and a little harder. Firas and Susan finished it with mild effort. It will probably be a new project for Daniel.
Setting this route up for toprope is a bit of a pain. I rigged a static line from a big tree above the anchors and rappeled/downclimbed to them to set it up. It's still pretty scetchy. Be careful.
