Finishing the first, harder, crux move on Orange Sunshine. The first two moves on this have small hands and slick feet (the gray, rather than the orange or white granite) and require either an extremely trusting smear for the left foot, or a high foot on a tiny hold for your right foot, and a slight lieback on the crack feature.

Pulling through the final small face move (5.9ish) to a rail of perfect jugs that signal the end of the business, and the beginning of the cruise right (5.5ish).
Orange Sunshine (or in this case, Orange Shadowline). Climb basically follows the middle of this photo. Look for bolts.
