Rough topo for main face.
A view of the whole crag. The Sword in the Stone on the far left and Renaissance Man on the right, just past the tree.
The Fun in the Sun wall, in Rattlesnake Canyon, gets my vote as Santa Barbara's coolest climbing outing. The wall boasts excellent moderate face climbs up to 70 meters tall (70 meters!!). And the upper headwall of Fun in the Sun is simply unforgettable--certainly the best route I've done to date in SB.<br> <br> Blue - Written Exam 5.9<br> Green - King Snake Crack (5.7)<br> Yellow - Tender Flakes of Mercy (5.8)<br> Red - Fun in the Sun (5.8)

Just downhill and across the stream from Renaissance Crag is giant cliff band that is home to the historic route "Fun in the Sun" by Forkash and Anderson. <br> <br> To get to the Fun in the Sun Wall, follow a climber's trail up the obvious gully on the left, which is reached 50 yards before the stream crossing where Renassaince Crag is located. The first three routes that are reached along the trail are Pilot's Paradise (5.9), Cupcakes & Champage (5.9+) and Labrador Cupcakes (5.6).
