A wee romp up the easy crack just right of Can't-Can't. A fun little route.

The Sucker

Moon Beam

Can't Can't

Sun Top

May Fly

Northeast Ridge

Can't Can't is located on the left of Suntop Tower.  You can start it up ledges or to the left around the corner is a semi awkward (but good) dihedral which adds climbing.  Work up to the roof which turns into a dihedral where some burly left palming gets your feet up over the roof.  The next part is an interesting slanted crack which leads to the top.  This is a great route to get used to trusting little wires at a reasonable grade.  May feel a bit physical...

Moon Beam is a fairly classic route for the grade, and not your typical DL face climbing. Climb the line of conspicuous horizontals in between The Sucker and Sun Top. A dramatic dropknee at the top makes an otherwise stopper move quite doable.  Nice holds.  Pretend your in the Gunks for a bit.

This is a great little lead and warmup.  Climb the obvious crack/weakness towards the right side of the wall.

Hmmm....I've never climbed it, but I had a good picture!   Sven says: "Overhang/crack. Go up and right past overhang to ledge at 20ft."   A direct version starts the same but at the niche move left to overhanging flake, then up and right to ledge. Finish in upper May Fly crack. 11d.

Climb the ridge/arete or just left of the arete on the right side of Sun-Top Tower.

 Start at the Northeast tip of Sun-Top Tower (right side as you approach from below). Climb up the ridge. When you get to the ledge half way up, climb the wide-angle inside corner to the right of May Fly, or the arete just right of that.

 (This #8 in Swartling/Mayer)

Sun-top Tower is a great formation found midway up the West Bluff.  The climbs here are generally pretty long and clean with nice exposure and aesthetic lines.  The formation is secluded, so don't be surprised if you have the climbs to yourself.
