Fun but not a classic
Bolted slab climbing reminiscent of Suicide's Sunshine Face, though not as cool. Weird ending--not intuitive at all.

Harder for tall people
Well, maybe. It's easier to get the good edge before the first bolt, but harder for us to mantle. If you don't own any really small cams, this becomes a much scarier climb--micronuts just don't cut it here.

Watch for Swallows!
We did this route in late afternoon, and on the second pitch the swallows began coming home to nest, diving in between my hands into the crack. More disconcerting than scary.

Too tempting to aid?
Fun first pitch, though short. The belay is obviously situated so that you can use it for aid if need be. Rated 11b in the guidebook, feels at least 11d, though not for long. Painful. Cool part of Suicide, with more of a valley view.

Best route at Suicide?
Don't forget long slings for tie-offs and drag management.

required climbing
Classic! Do all the variations of the third pitch. A 70M rope gets you down in 3 raps.

great but frightening route
The guidebook understates the runout on this climb: "Slightly difficult to protect" is putting it mildly. You might be able to get an offset alien in the pin scar before the crux, but that means you don't get to use it as a hold...In relation to other Idyllwild 5.11s, this is a definite notch up from Valhalla, Etude, or Fred at Tahquitz.
