Description There are a lot of good holds for hands and really good feet for most of the route.
Location The route starts on the right hand side of the back of Sugar Loaf (facing away from the river)with a low bolt. Climb to the top and clip the chains, rappel down.
Protection There are 5 bolts, 4 are new. 4-5 quickdraws are recommended depending on skill level.

| There has to be more routes on the sugar loaf... at least some trad potential. Until your post, I had never even heard about this formation. Looks promising, at least in the photos posted. Are there more than two established routes here? |

| There are a few bolted routes on the south side of the Sugarloaf. There is one classic bolted route on the rock, it is not very trad friendly. The north face is not accessible. East and west are not too good either. |

| My parents recently moved into this area so we were visiting them for the weekend. Enjoyed climbing at sugar loaf this past Saturday. Climbed some of the bolted routes on the back. Fun times. |
