Me on Dr. Know. This route was way awkward
Add Photo  Printer View
Description Route is easily identifiable by bolt line. All bolts seem to clip from the left. This route is awkward and you are nearly forced to use one arm gastons. Extremely difficult to see holds and bolts during low sun in the winter.
Location First route on left on south face of Sunnyside crag - directly next to .12a "Red Hot". SCSG 3rd edition route 824
Protection 4 bolts to shut anchors

| Awkward and leaning... sun adds three letter grades for sure. Bring welders goggles if you plan of seeing any holds out to your left as the sun is going down. |

| This route should be called Dr. NO! Do the route to the right as it's much cleaner and enjoyable IMO.

| Awkward with most holds seeming to face the wrong way. If you gotta do this one, try it in morning or midday, the afternoon sun problem ain't no joke. |

| totally concur with my fellow JTree residents...AWKWARD to say the least...interesting and fun though...and IMHO...it's HARDER than the 10c to the right. |

| Dr. Know spanked me on lead but this is a great route! Sustained .10a followed by sustained .10b; that crossing move at the third bolt is mind blowing. The fact that the holds all face the wrong way is exactly what makes this climb memorable! I highly recommend this route. |

| More technical than strenuous but not the most enjoyable route with it's tedious lower section, fortunately the upper section redeems it slightly. |

| Did this route in the sun, just read the comment now. I agree - the sun adds a lot of spice as most of the feet felt very slick, and all of the holds were facing the wrong direction for the feet. Felt 10+ or 11- for sure. Reminded me of frustration creek climbs. Good variety compared to the typical routes in the area! |
