Comments: Classic route! A green Alien can be placed above the only bolt on P2 before you make the delicate moves up and right. You definitely want small gear for the top of P3. BD-swedges worked well for the thin crack leading up to the belay on P3.

Comments: We climbed the route this past weekend following the suggestion by Charles to combine the 1st four pitches into two pitches. This is definitely the way to climb this beauty. The final 5.9 pitch is one awesome lead!! I also thought this climb was better and more sustained than Mainliner-- IMHO :o)

Comments: Climbed the route this past weekend as described by Ron (above). Had a great time under perfect spring conditions. Great way to start off the Lumpy season.
Gear- P1: Good gear mostly stoppers and camalots (0.75-3.0). P2: Mostly small stuff. We used stoppers, green and yellow aliens up to the undercling with 0.5 and 1.0 Camalot protecting the traverse. P3: BD swedges and stoppers with one red alien for gear up through the crux. Then med. stoppers and camalots up to a #2 worked fine.

Comments: From the anchor on Rambo Santa you can linkup with the last pitch of the Diagonal for a great 2-pitch romp with bolted belays and lots of fun.

Comments: Really fun route! Do yourself a favor and give this climb a try, you'll have fun. This climb offers tons of great veiws of other [Lumpy] classics. In itself this climb is a classic because there is not another climb I've done like it at [Lumpy] The exposed last pitch is wonderful and it really tops off a good day of climbing.

Comments: Climbed this route last weekend as an introductory climb to the Black. It was awesome! P1 is less than par but the remaining pitches make up for it. We did this climb in 5 pitches by linking P3 and P4 together using a 60m rope (ease rope drag by going left at the roof ) and belay at a nice ledge. This way the route ended up taking ~3- 4 hrs car to car.

Comments: One of the best routes I've done at Lumpy and my 1st on Sundance. The route has great face and crack climbing moves with bomber protection. The whole route eats stoppers and so do the belays. The stem moves on the P3 were great and well protected. I thought the crux was the bulge moves above the stem. Just fire it and you can get a great #1 Camalot when you get your feet back under you. Great route!! [Can't] wait to try Sidetrack.

Comments: Great one pitch route with a little bit of everything and a great intro to Unaweep climbing. Stepping off the ground you have a great hand crack with some stemming to the 1st foot ledge. Then the rock gets slightly steeper with great jams to the next ledge below the offwidth (#1 BD protects). Tackling the offwidth I used a #3.5 BD at the begin climbed up left side in and protected the top moves with a #4 BD.

Comments: Great route. We did it in two pitches, but I suggest doing it as one long pitch up to the tree as suggested above. The climb has some interesting face moves which are protected by small passive gear (BD-swedges). Once in the crack by the roof [Camalots] work well (#'s 0.5-2).

Comments: Great one pitch route! All you need is a handful of quick draws some small [chocks], BD-swedges and a few micro-cams. The route makes you think and keeps you on your toes. Gotta love smearing.
