Looking for Crag that gets morning sun which has beginner to moderate sport routes in Boulder Canyon. The Bihedral and Riviera area come to mind, but I'd like some other suggestions please. Crags with easy top rope Set ups are a big plus.

Thanks!

Dome Rock, Happy Hour, Boulderado, Nip and Tuck, Cornerstone, surprising Crag at the Sport Park.

Thanks Mark! Most of these look to be only trad routes and we are in need of sport climbing. The surprising crag in the sport park looks promising though! Was not aware of that one.

Boulderado and Nip and Tuck are pretty easy to TR. plus there are two new sport routes at NT, just left of Hypotenuse. Animal World is just past the top of the Boulderado and Jaycenes Dances is really a great route.

Have fun!

caution on setting up a TR at the boulderado. The anchors are at the edge of the cliff, and it's been the site of a few accidents from falling off the top. Be super careful

Thanks for clarifying those areas Mark I couldn't tell all that from MP.

Thanks for the heads up Scott. Prob won't be trying to TR that crag if it's that sketchy.

Sport park in Bocan is probably the best for what your describing. You can easily access the top of more or less every route. Most get all day sun with a cool setting...

Well it's totally doable, but personally I would set up some kind of belay to get me down form the trees to the anchors for safety. I'm a triple check type person, but it's a long way down from the top...if you wanna rock and roll.
Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
