A super-good route for those who like to search for greatness. If there is a route at The Sunshine Wall that is hard to find, and easy to walk right on by without seeing it, Orange Streak fits the description to a tee. If you can find The Dinner Plate Wall, the trick is to keep walking along the wall -towards Cheyenne Crossing- the best you can while constantly looking past your left shoulder. Do not gaggle at the scenery, do not look down at your feet, and for God's sake, don't blink. Orange streak is located on a small wall that looks like a crumbly piece of choss, but the rock is solid and the climbing is just as difficult and about as challenging as Astro-Pop, just not as classic and sought after. For those who love the EMB route, here is your next challenge, if you don't get lost trying to find it.

Orange Streak

Old Number Seven

Flip Top Toenail

This route is the middle route on the wall. Thin edging and little pockets up a gnarly white streak.  The crux is pretty technical at bottom and a bit of endurance at the top.

A tricky 5.10+ section leads into 5.9 climbing for a few bolts followed by a great rest.  The V4/5 crux lies directly above the rest and makes use of some bad side-pulls and fun footwork.  Only problem I found with this route is that the upper section was quite dirty and needed a little bit of cleaning (clean at the moment this was written).

This is a pretty small wall and is usually really clean. The wall has only about three routes, but they are all pretty solid climbs.
