Description There are 3 bolted face routes under the upper arch. They have good face climbing on big holds. These are some of the best sport climbs on the dome.
Per S. Green, "the middle route is named Escorndido (5.9+). The left route is Junior Jules Doinks a Digit (5.10a) and is a great 2-pitch line. The right route is Innerspace Arch (5.9+). The far left easy slab route is Most Toppest (5.5)."
Location Hike past Guide's Route to the obvious arch with 3 bolted lines and two anchors.
Protection 6-7 bolts. 2 anchors for 3 routes.

| I climbed the left and center route yesterday. Both felt like they were in the .9 range. We didn't have time for the right route, but it looked a touch easier. I haven't climbed in a while, so the grades might be off a bit. Just left of the arch was a 5.1 bolted route for beginners, felt like Sunshine Slab. Once at either anchor, you can walk across a ledge and set up the other anchor. |

| These three routes are all just wonderful. I actually thought Junior Jules Doinks a Digit was the easiest of the three, regardless they are all in the 5.9+ range. |
