From the Gunks Guide:

Rubble Without a Cause 5.14+ X

A climb well ahead of its time. Bring snow pickets, deadmen and make sure your life insurance policy is paid in case they don't hold! Begin exactly 216.374 feet from the left end of the cliff at a four inch high blade of grass that vibrates at 60 cycles per minute in a ten knot breeze. Angle up left across vertical gravel to mossy chimney filled with precariously stacked house-sized boulders. Pussyfoot up to this to a ledge stacked with K-Mart sized loose blocks, then dyno right to a belay tree (it used to be the only solid thing on the climb , but it died due to the 1981 gypsy moth infestation). Crawl on your belly that usually clogs the notch, then prance up the overhanging face above multiple grass bog mantles (tied off grass clumpls for pro) to the summit (98.625 feet, 5.14c).
