I went with Will to Sunset on June 16, 2019. We left the house at 7:30 AM and were in the parking lot (with a bit of traffic) at 9:30 AM. We were on our first climb about a half an hour after that. We climbed until 4 PM, so six hours overall, and we managed to do five climbs (one of which I repeated). Not a bad pace and day! If we could get ourselves to leave earlier in the morning, we could get more climbs in or, more likely, we could do the same number of climbs earlier in the day before it got so hot.
1. S'More (5.8+) - a fun warm-up
2. Alpha Omega (5.10b) - We toproped this. A solid crack climb with a squeeze/chimney section halfway up. This definitely was a challenge.
3. Friday the 13th (5.9) - Fun, but a bit of a two-move wonder. Felt like 5.9-. Still, it was shaded, and nobody else was trying to climb on this section of the wall.
4. Sense of Adventure (5.9+) - There were two cruxes on this climb. The first was an undercling to get over a bulge. The second involved a really high step to get up onto a face.
5. Bubble Bath (5.9) - Another really fun climb. The roof felt like gym climbing.
