Doggystyle and Sumatra are two fun new routes that were put up in 2005 offering a nice sense of adventure and variety.

Doggystyle is a nice, very enjoyable cruise up mostly well protected slabs, with the occasional flake and crack. The route wanders a bit, and feels more like a 5.9 route with a few 5.10 slab moves that are very well protected. There is some loose rock on the route and on the ledges, but it should clean up nicely. The 1st and 3rd pitches are very nice, offering exciting slab moves and a great hand crack and roof. The route has a good mix of gear and bolts, so only a small rack is needed. The 3rd pitch 5.11- variation is very good, and can easily be toproped or lead on the way down. This way you don’t miss the equally good original 3rd pitch.

Sumatra is located just to the right of Doggystyle. It features a very fun slab and dike section on the 3rd pitch. Both the 1st and 3rd pitches are really fun, with clean rock and excellent climbing. However, pitches 2 and 4 are lower angle and a little more dirty. The rock and pro are mostly good and the moves and position are excellent.

CAUTION: These are relatively new routes, and there is still some loose rock. Be extremely careful with loose blocks, as rockfall potential is a real issue in this area. If a party is already on the route, consider something else and avoid hanging out at the base.
