Start in the corner to the right of the low roof which forms a cave in the middle of Sunnyside Crags. Climb the corner crack up through a couple roofs to a anchor under another big roof. This route is very intimidating for the grade, but the moves are there and are very enjoyable.

This is such a great route. The roof looks totally improbable but when climbing it, the moves are all there and it's well protected with #4 and #3.5 Camalots. I've done a second pitch to this route, which wasn't as stellar but fun nonetheless. There is no fixed anchor for pitch 2 but plenty of gear placements. We walked left, up canyon, for quite some ways until we found a rappel anchor in a waterstreak. The anchor was a natural thread with slings and rings and we rapped with two ropes.
A fun, interesting route! You won't experience boredom on it, that's for sure! The roof move was pure fun after figuring out how to protect it. The only thing I didn't care that much for on the climb was the awkward stance and move over to the uncomfortable hanging belay, but who said climbing's all pleasure and no pain?

One of the most classic pitches I have done at Red Rocks. A cool route with improbably easy moves.

Probably the best moderate at this crag. Good protection and fun moves.
