Description:
Starts He Ain't My Brother... Continues traversing into the little Neil Higa cave and out/up to Imaginary Friend's anchors. Substantially longer than the main route and so it's the one to do unless you're one of those traverse haters. The names of the main route and this variation form a Milton Reimers quote described in the guidebook. The proper pronounciation, however, is not described. Stick your chest out, head back, and sass your head while deliverying your best Texas-hick accent.

Onsight ascent by:
Very fun 11d on a slight overhang.
Loved the start moves, however I couldn't seem to find a good clipping stance on the 3rd perma so I skipped it. Great rest on the ledge before final few moves.

Red Point ascent by:
Hard Start
Thought the opening moves on this route were quite difficult and certainly harder than "Imaginary Friend". Glad it got 11d. Second try.

longer version of the main route
Both this variation and the main route have interesting finishes. Both share some very fun beta (spoiler), for isntance, a left-foot sidepull heel hook to gain the ledge. Both are intricate.
