sunshine and moonbeam are both loaded with friendly holds, but they are aso pretty short, so it may be worth it to look for longer routes to do laps on, one where every move wont be totally dialed after your first training day. but both those routes are totally classic, and stay left is a new route, which is sure to be a classic, super fun climbing. once you get really burly, reliquary may also be a good route. hope that helps. train hard

Hell yeah-- Sick Puppies is a blast! I got on that thing over and over on Sunday and loved every second of it. Dynamic and slopey.

Brother Stair at the Skank could probably be made into a sloper route if you stayed out of the good pockets.
Ticking is gym climbing outdoors.

Maybe we should rename this thread "How to Contrive Your Very Own Sloper Route at the Red, Which Apparently Doesn't Have Many Sloper Routes."
