Description Suggestion

The Surprise provides 2 excellent pitches of climbing. Here it is broken into 5 pitches but can be done in 3 pitches.

P1: Climb a 5.6 corner up to tree anchor.

P2: Traverse 5.5 right and down to a flake/stem below the splitter. Can link P1 and P2 but committing for the follower.

P3: Climb 5.8 face/stem and hand crack to a single bolt. Can link P2 and P3 since this is a better spot to belay and less committing for the follower on the traverse. 

P4: Excellent 5.10a tight hands/fingers splitter to a bouldery face move to a ledge and tree anchor. Can link P3 and P4. 

P5: Left of the tree, climb 5.7 stem to 4th class.
