Favorite Top-Rope Solo (5.9-5.12) red rock

Yo!!!

i know that many of us will keep our answers to ourselves for obvious reasons BUT...

what are YOUR favorite top rope solo set-ups in the park?

i'll start:

my favorite is to set up chicken eruptus from the top-out and lap it out. did 10 laps on my bday once...

thanks for any new suggestions,

jon

p.s. don't forget i'm asking about top rope SOLO. multi pitch ideas welcome!

great idea for a thread Jon:
here are some that I know off of the top of my head.
Calico basin: Cannibal crag - bolts on top, can top rope solo all of the vertical routes pretty easily. Not so sure about the steeper stuff
there are also bolts on top of the Plumber's crack, so if you need some OW practice, this is where I learned.
The Fox - take a few cams (0.5-4?) to set up and set directionals
First Pullout
I think that you can set up some TR's at the Fixx cliff with a small rack.
Second Pullout
nothing comes to mind
Third Pullout
I think you can get to the anchors on Sonic Youth, never tried but with a small rack I bet you could make it work
I think you can get to the anchors at the Numbers Crag fairly easily, again I would take a small rack to help out
With a rack that has some 3's and 4's you could get to the anchors at the Pier pretty easily.
I know for sure you can get to the anchors on many things at the Secret 13 wall.
Willow Springs see Jon's post, many things at Ragged Edges will work.
Oak Creek Heard you can set up a rope on the Mass Extinction Crag pretty easily.
I know of one local hard man that hikes to the top of Rainbow Wall and solo TR's the thing from top down. I'm sure there are more you could do like this, maybe Dogma on Wilson (be sure to take a 70m).
Of course these involve multi hour approaches to get to, and without knowledge of where they top out, it could be an epic event.

It would be sweet to see more ideas on this topic.

woooord, i like the structure...

would love to hear more multi-pitch ideas

atman/ ying yang set up easy at calico

winter heat wall sets up nice if you're willing to solo the 5.0.

Classic Corner is an easy after work romp. I think the anchor is mostly #1-#4 camalots.

Gnat Man crag is easy to set up, although the routes are so-so.

Everything at the Chocolate Rocks is easy to rig.

While your stick clipping some sick .12s (only after a full day of trail work of course) could you install some of those chain draws on all the routes. Oh, and epoxy them so those traditionalists will have to hack saw em off.

any more constructive suggestions?

anything in the canyons? any big lines that go top down ala rainbow wall?

Look for anything that tops out and uses the route itself for a rap line like Crimson or Levitation 29 (and perhaps others on that wall).
Of course the trick is to find the way to the top.
I don't know of anyone using these routes like that, but I'm guessing it could be done.

i know ixtlan has been tr soloed but i'm a lil' iffy on the details of hitting it from the top
