Description Suburban Hangover is the first route you see on the Needle. There are a series of seriously overhung sport routes and SH is the farthest to you left. The crux is getting up to the first bolt. A stick clip is highly recommended as a fall would be most painful. Don't underestimate the 10c rating when bouldering up to the bolt.
Protection 6 draws and a long sling if wanting to top rope. This anchor shares with the route to the right as well.

| The first bolt is a bit high, but there is a nice jug to clip off of. Just gun for it and have a good spotter. |

| Gillett's book says four bolts, but it's really five bolts to a two bolt anchor. |

| If you come into the first bolt from the right and clip it at your waist, this route feels more like an easy Eldo 10a or pumpy 5.9.
First bolt is a good candidate for stick clipping, and there is usually a large branch at the base for this purpose. |
