Description Suggest change

The Cruise... no, not exactly. I didn't cruise this route at all, in fact I got stumped on it for a few minutes and though it was hard for the 5.9 grade it was given.

This fine climb starts on the ledge as for Sunrider, but just a ways down and to the right of it. Start off of the ledge on the large north-facing wall to the right of the route Upstairs dihedral. Climb up to and through a crack that will take you around the arete to the right-hand side (west facing).

Climb the lower-angle rock on the right of the arete, through small holds. Pass a bolt and then climb up and right to a few placements for gear, then over left through to top of the Upstairs dihedral, to the bolt anchors above Sunrider.

The area around the bolt is insecure and the pro may be a distance from you at a few odd moves.

To descend, rap from the Sunrider anchors or top out and scramble and walk to the southwest to the rough trail, which leads back to the base.

Protection Suggest change

Standard rack with a bolted crux. There are some insecure moves up some way above gear, so this is probably safe, but not a route to trifle with.
