Me on Sun Dog.

Description Short fun route. This is on the far right hand side of the Good Medicine Wall, next to Fire Water. This route is hidden around a corner when viewing it from below, and starts from a big ledge.
4 bolts through steep juggy rock leads up to an anchor. I think it is possible to scramble around to the right to setup a toprope as well.
Protection 4 bolts. 2 bolt anchor at the top.

| My climbing partner and I actually found some of the moves on this route to be more difficult than it's neighbor Peace Treaty, which is rated 5.9. The hanging, flagging finish move reminded me of something you'd do in the gym -- very cool. |

| I found this climb to be the same or easier than its 5.7 neighbor. I guess everyone's mileage varies. |

| How can this be 5.8? The smallest foothold is slightly smaller than a deck of cards, and every handhold is a massive jug. |

| The only 5.8 part of this climb for me were the last few moves directly below the anchor. The rest is easy 5.7 climbing. Fire Water, the 5.7 to the left, seemed harder. |
