My very first day climbing wound up here & I couldn't do the route. 

  Years later I went back to lead it, went so easy I turned right around and soloed it. 

  Not that I advocate soloing or anything, but this one is just slightly over a boulder problem in height, and WOW what a great landing!

Basket

Corked Lunch

Crack a Beer

No Picnic

Track Cracks Right

Boulder the blank-looking face to the left of Track Cracks, using a series of good hidden holds.  On lead this section is a bit spicy, but the landing is good if you blow it.  Once you reach the break, place gear and head up a fun overhanging jug-haul to the top.

Basket starts underneath the prominent roof on the left side of Picnic Wall. Ascend the dihedral to the roof and, improbably enough, exit to the right side. Scramble to the top on solid buckets (or baskets, as the case may be).

  Pull the starting moves to No Picnic and realize that only yoga devotees who have sworn off caffeine and alcohol have the combination of patience, willpower and flexibility to suss out the moves on No Picnic. Instead, traverse slightly to the left and follow excellent crimpers up to the horizontal crack, where the holds become bomber jugs. Follow them to the top. You're there! Uncork your lunch and enjoy.

After a hard day on the rocks it's time to chill out, open that picnic basket, and crack a beer. Climb the large crack to a small chimney and then finish on or near the corner. (This is #25 in S/M, and Inside Corner in Knower)

Climb the face between Track Cracks and the right corner. The top and bottom sections are pretty straightforward but the face in the middle gets a little blank.

 Yes, this one is squeezed in there, but is listed as a separate climb in both Swartling/Mayer (#24) and Knower.
