The route everyone will come here for. Furthest left on the steep wall. Begin with an entrance fee of a little bouldery move to reach the climbing that people travel from overseas for. Gigantic holds, big moves, and mega steep rock with a smack down anchor run. Originally equipped by Brian McCray in the late 90s.

Like Amarillo Sunset but progressively steeper. Hard for the grade.

The best jug haul in the RRG. Classic

tried to keep the original flavor of the old fart who originally bolted this 100 years ago...so the runouts may feel spicy, but blame the guys who really knew how to clip bolts from the 80's. also, the fat arrow in the middle is our version of "midnight lightening", so no need to scrub it off;)
