I keep thinking it'd be a great route name.

Anyway,

Sublime Point: About 40 routes, spread between the upper (micro), Main and Lower walls.

The Main walls are about 11-24 -although some (a?) new routes near Sweet Dreams at higher grades on a fantastic looking wall.

Routes are old school style and grade, with a few by Ewbank in the 60's and 70's, and folks like Westren, Pickard and Cook in the late 50's through to late 60's. Big, soaring corners and such. A possible couple of aid moves still to be freed on a few routes.

Something tells me that Sweet Dreams is carrying a bit more hardware than when Ted Batty and Bryden Allen did it in '63.
