A moderate start protected with wires leads to short runout and ledge. Place small cams from the ledge, then with great care, go up a left-facing corner to clip the second bolt. The move to clip this beefy bolt is reasonable, but a fall here would be bad.

Work through a sequence of 5.10 cruxes clipping beefy bolts along the way. After the difficulties, follow the fat crack left to tree and belay.

Riding the Tongue, variation on One No-Trump

Parade of Fools is a great route of face climbing that will leave you wanting more like the 10c just to the left. This is sustained.

Climb the obvious crack that angles from the lower right to the upper left of the formation.  Surmounting he roof with the tree about mid-route is interesting. We considered the tree to be "on". This route had some harder-than-it-looked climbing - finger traversy and smeary stuff.

Climb the crack "formed by stacked boulders" as described in Gillett's guidebook, then scramble to the small roof and follow the line of bolts along the edge of the slab to the anchors.  Rap to the ground.

Below the diagonal, left-leaning (LL) crack, go up 15' in a weakness with gear, then traverse right to gain LL crack, and follow it under & past bulge. At a wide pod of crack, place #3 Camalot, and break right & over bulge, then run-it-out on moderate rock to the ledge below the tongue with bolts.

Continue up namesake tongue with a few tricky moves to rappel station.
