The route is fairly straight forward. Simply ascend the crack (the direct boulder start is rated 5.10b) to where the crack splits into a "Y" shape which creates two parallel cracks (thus the routes' namesake!). Twenty feet above the split, make a short traverse to the left on a small horizontal crack. The two cracks can be stemmed and jammed (5.9) to the top of the climb. Or the left most crack can be jammed (.10a) to make the route more challenging. There are two anchor bolts at the top of the climb. Pro to 2". The upper section requires smaller gear (3/8" to 3/4")

Climbs a fun face intersecting a few horizontal cracks. Delicate moves at the top (crux) protected by a bolt.

groove-like cracks that take cams leads to 3 bolts on easy slab/face, leads to large ledge, mantle and 3 more bolts above the ledge (second of the 3 bolts is the crux with micro edges)

Start up the small right facing crack/corner (5.7 fingers) to the appex of the crack. At the top of the crack, there is a 2" undercling (good pro). Head above this undercling (slightly height dependant) to a small dishy ledge and up a left facing corner. Once in the left facing corner, climb 20 feet and look for a small ledge that traverses to the right out onto the open face. The first bolt is located just at the end of the ledge. Climb past this bolt onto 5.7 slab (nice holes and dimples for features). Reach a second bolt, which protects a few 5.8 slab friction moves. Continue up and slightly left, aiming for a steep overlap. Once at the overlap (3/8 Alien), cross left over onto steeper face climbing (sustained 5.9) and then climb up past a flaring horizontal crack. Above the crack is the third and final bolt, clip the bolt and ascend 6 more feet to the top of the wall to a 2-bolt anchor.

The crux is above the second bolt.  This is where you have to crank onto slopers.

Interesting and varied climbing. Scramble up and clip the first bolt. Traverse the undercling across the face. Make a somewhat baffling crux move before moving right into the flake. Place some cams and enjoy the jams. Once on top of the flake/pedestal, bust back left onto the technical slab to reach a 2 bolt anchor.

Climb direct-start slab or come in from the right off a block into diagonal cracks for easier climbing. Gain a small ledge, climb featured face above, then transition into the crux slab near the top. Guidebook rates 5.8+.

Fun start with some stemming leads to hand cracks. 5.9 in the guidebook, seemed casual for the grade.

Crux is near the anchor.  Hand crack, in the beginning there are several mantles to ledges.

A short right-facing corner leads to a upward-left trending fingertip crack, to easier slab/face above. Guidebook rates 5.10a, but it's pretty cruiser compared to some of the other 5.9s at Tiger Cage.

Climb up to a ledge and traverse left.  Clip a bolt and climb up a small ramp to a crack that you can layback.  Punch it to a stance to place a piece high above your head and place another piece before getting to a horizontal rest.  Clip the bolt above and quickly realize that this is your last piece of protection.  Take stock of your edge climbing skills and keep your heart-rate low as you dance your way fifteen feet to the anchor.  This is not a sport route and should not be taken lightly.  If you fall close to the lip, you could come very close to the ledge below.

Obvious short section of off-width off the deck leads to large ledge and a couple short hand cracks to the top.

A nice warm up for the area. Start on the slab/arete immediately to the left of Jigsaw. Easy climbing past three bolts leads to a gear section. Bust right through a tiny roof and follow the flake with small gear and one more bolt to the top.
