Heading up the second pitch with our boys, 4 and 7 at the time, climbing as a party of 4 on doubles.

Looking up the crux (5.8) Pitch 4 of Sinocranium.

Pitch 4 of Sinocranium goes up the steep section. It is the crux (5.8) of the route.

Should you see these crazies climbing, run the other way!!

Dalon and Sheri successful at the summit!

A historic shot! Has to be 2010- top of Sinocranium! First trip to the City with Jorden :)

View from pitch 3 looking out towards Castle Rock

Looking down Pitch 2 of Sinocranium. The climbing on this route is similar to Theatre of Shadows, but seems a bit harder and the bolts just a tad more spread out (although still comfortingly plentiful).

Leading the 5.8 Pitch

Setting up the Rappel. I took this picture of my friend while I was standing on the very top of the summit. Walking down to this rap station is very easy. The second set of chains are on the right side of the gully as you face the wall.

View of pitch one from the base of the route. Climber is at pitch one anchors.

The rest of the bunch coming up pitch 3 on Sinocranium!

At the top - 7th pitch is a doozy, no bolts, just walk up

Brian leading the crux pitch that is WAY protected but fun, unique positions.

Triumphant after descending. Route starts just out of the left side of the frame and wanders right around the horizontal vein.

Start of Sinocranium-NOTE: Large cairn.

Fun climbing on the crux pitch of Sinocranium. September 2008.

Sher-bear climbing the crux "fun" pitch!

Looking down from the top of the crux (5.8) Pitch 4 of Sinocranium. We belayed right below it, although there is also a set of anchors about 50 feet before the belayer in the photo.

Combined 4th and 5th pitches.

Belay stance on top of the hard pitch. Wake up early to avoid the crowds on this route!

View of the parking area from top of Sinocranium, long way down!

Enjoying the fun crux pitch.

Looking up from the base of Sinocranium. The first bolt is 20 feet off the ground so it is easy to miss the base of the route and go too far uphill.

Steinfells Dome from parking area; Sinocranium is on the right hand side of the big dome.
