Ted cruising the second crux on sinopia. Photo by ...


Description 

Sinopia is the second route from the left. This route looks Waaay easier than it is. Stick clip the first bolt because it looks 5.7...but it's not. Climb past three bolts including the first up a corner which deposits you on a ledge. Sit, lay down, have lunch, whatever but rest before tackling the headwall. Clip two bolts off the ledge and tackle the first crux. Either a big throw if your tall or pimpin small grips if not. Shake out and head left to the next crux, technical climbing brings you to the lip and final clip. Don't fall here. Kind of a funky last move getting established on the slab. A good route.


Protection 

8-9 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor.

I had left draws and a cam on Sinopia at the end of December '07, I noticed recently that they are gone and different draws in place. If anyone has my gear, I would love to get it back.
Cheers
