An exercise in good, but frequently off-angled holds, this route lingers move-to-move somewhere between a jug haul and sloping sidepulls.  Luckily, no hard moves are run back to back, so one can figure out the move at hand, then take a rest, repeated to the end.  Climb up on good holds to the first bolt then weave left and right (moslty left) past 3 more bolts to a ledge and chain anchors above the route.

Climb some easy terrain (5.2?) up to a few good holds to clip the first bolt, then continue up on sagacious territory passing no particular crux but stopping to figure out any given move or find the best hold as needed.

This is a reasonably good route with a little lichen still remaining.

A.O.D.

Climb up through blocks and corners with occasional protection on moderate terrain (5.7) to reach lighter rock, which is very solid.  Place a 0.5- 0.75 cam and then head up to the first bolt. Climb up and clip bolts through increasingly difficult terrain, reaching a thin and slightly off balance crux before lay-backing up pumpy a right-facing flake (optional large nut or small hex) to a ledge with a fixed anchor.  Clip and belay or rap.

This mixed gear climb ascends the left-most line on the South Face of the Sundrop.  The climbing starts on very moderate and solid terrain, rising to a series of bolts on increasingly smaller yet positive crimps until a crux where the feet disappear and the holds go off angle.

The hard climbing is about 3 meters from the top ledge.  After the crux, clip a directional and head right on the ledge to the shared bolt anchor and rap 80' to the base.
