Got up to The Bachelor today after Climber Coffee and took an alternate way to the summit that Brad told me about - thanks Brad! We would have done Young and Single too but the weather turned kooky - cold, windy and hailing. We'll have to go back. Hiked out with climberdude and got to stop and chat with T O Double D by the res.
Here's the new route and some pics
Things Not Rings 5.3
Move 35 feet west from the start of Young and Single and scramble 35 feet up a very low angle slab with patches of moss and dirt. At the top of the slab curve around left (south then southeast) for 25 feet and move up into a slot/chute. Follow along and then slightly down the chute until it is easy to climb to a shoulder and the first bolt. The bolt protects moves out, up, and left to a sub summit (exposed). From the top of the sub summit, lean over and clip the second bolt. From the second bolt, move left and slightly down to a knob (exposed). Step out left onto a cracked lodestone and big solid handholds which allow easy climbing to the anchor on Young and Single. Continue to the true summit if desired as for Young and Single.

Drilling the first bolt

Dark cloud that moved over while I was drilling

Hail on Kat's pants at the belay - note to self - stand up when hail starts to keep from getting too wet

Hail in the chute below the first bolt stance - my heel is visible in the upper right corner

Getting a second bolt in to gain the summit

Thanks again to Brad for the suggestion and also for that nicely equalized anchor
