Solar E-clips 

Solar E-Clips is one of the best routes at this area. Interesting and varied climbing right to the anchors. 5.11- is a bit of a sandbag for this route, but it is a route I would climb again and again.

Great climbing, all kinds of different moves to be had, even some chimneying up to the first bolt..Getting up underneath those roofs had kind of a multipitch feel to it..Save some energy for the top..

Also thought was harder than 11a..even as I hangdogged to my heart's content..

After many people have climbed this route, two opinions have emerged:
1: It's the best route at the Sun Spots
2: It's 5.11 b/c

Definitely a sandbag at 11a. I tried it as a warmup thinking that was the grade and got brutally flashpumped. Good route, 2 stars easy.

Harder than 11a and couldn't be happier that I didn't lead it.

What's the deal with the anchor about 10-12 ft below the actual anchor up top? Different route? Someone extend the last bit?

By the way, that last little bulge getting to the anchor was pretty hard or I was thoroughly gassed, maybe both.

Good route - best one we did on the crag. Closer to 11b/c IMO.

I agree with you Susan. 5.11- it is not, even though it feels easier some days. The old anchors you found we think were done by someone who aided the thing years ago. Or they may have lead it on gear. Until they come forward we will never know. I don't know why that Jimbo dude doesn't just change the rating with the edit feature. He's a bit stubborn.

If one would look 3 comments up, one would see that I have noted that this route is more like .11b/c.
The topo was compiled by someone else, and I can't change it with the edit feature.

How about that for an excuse.
