Description Suggest change

This route climbs the slab and steep upper wall to the right of Winter Warm-up. It's most notable feature (last time I did it, anyway) was a spooky hollow block that constitutes the mental crux. FA party worked for hours to remove this block and finally decided that it wasn't going anywhere - but caution (and a helmet!) are always a good idea. Named for it's sunny disposition in the winter, when most of the grotto routes are frozen solid.

Location Suggest change

Start just right of the "Winter Warmup" crack on a smooth slab.

Protection Suggest change

6 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor. No traditional gear needed.
