Description Suggest change

Start standing with right hand on the ramp and left hand at the same level on the arête. Work your way up the arête with dynamic moves followed by a perplexing top out over the bulging lip. 

Location Suggest change

Located at the far (west) end of the Far Side. Follow the climber's trail down canyon from the Buzz Boulders for a few hundred yards, passing some of the main Far Side boulders along the way. Surprise is a northwest facing overhanging arete with a juggy ramp extending to the right.
