This is the 5.6 exit option up the final pitch of Europa. This avoids the last 2 pitches of Sunset Strip (10d crux, and 5.9 chimney). It's not nearly as good of climbing as the actual route, but good to know about if you need/want a quicker/easier exit.

Now the real business starts. 5.10c rattly fingers in a V-shaped box crack provide full value.

Pitch 2. 10a

look for the tiny climber.
<br>
Hint, zoom in on it.

Pitch 8, crux slab, face climb passing 5 bolts. 10d

Pitch 3. You could also begin the pitch by going right into the corner. I've done both ways now and both are good climbing.

Pitch 10, short 10b traverse to chimney.

Joseph W. solving the p2 start problem ... full body jamming FTW

Pitch 4. Perfect finger locks and ringlocks lead to a flare that tests your resistance. Keep some juice for the boulder problem below the anchor!

Pitch 4, just above the rattly fingers section

Pitch 5.

Pitch 6.

10a/b

Pitch 4/5, I think I combined two pitches. 10+/ 5.9

Pitch 6 ?

Manuel on p11

A poor attempt of mine to depict the Sunset Strip (5.10d 12p) line with the variation finish via Europa chimneys we took to top out in daylight. Thanks Lee G. for the pic.
