| Extremely fun route. Guidebook shows no stars, I gave it two and could easily be convinced of 3 stars. Interesting moves using flake & crack. Possibly the best route I've done so far are Sunnyside!!

| Fairly cool move to gain the big flake. Much easier if you are over 7ft and pretty strong. Standard pulling will get you to the top. |

| One-hit wonder, but still a lot of fun. Mostly 5.9 climbing with a well protected 5.10-ish crux. |

| you can easily go around the first bolt and belay from the giant ledge between bolts one and two. I would not recommend this though, the jug/flake to get through the crux is thin and feels pretty weak. Having the belay at the bottom should help protect, or at least give them a chance to adjust,if it breaks off. Otherwise I thought it was a super fun route. |
