What are the best short, bouldery, south facing, sport routes in the RED? Looking for v3 to v5 technical cruxes. I got this list from the online guide.

Stunning the hog
Infectious
Wild yet tasty
The bulge
Camp fire crank
Buff the wood (done this one)
Quantum Narcissist
Hard core jollies

Any others?

Todd,
I haven't been on that many routes, but you might check out Tic-Tac-Toe or Tuskan Raider. For some reason these two come to mind, in addition to a few you listed.Tic-Tac-Toe has a couple of moves up top that were quite bouldery for me. Tuskan has a really cool move before the hueco. I don't know if you have been on Hardcore Jollies before...it is bouldery, but it's also one of the routes that I'll only do once. Have fun.

Stay the Hand for sure.

Heart Shaped Box
Stain
Strevels Gets in Shape
Wild Gift
No Fluff
Blood Bath
Where's the Beef
Sex Farm

That should keep you busy.

I wouldn't bother with the Bulge, and Quantum Narcissist isn't south facing, it actually doesn't ever get sun.

Some of the harder routes at Solar might be good. They are longer, but there is usually a no hands rest or two. And maybe gold coast, although I think the stuff there is harder.

Dissapereer has a bouldery crux, but then you have another 50 feet of 5.10.


But, if you are looking for v3-v5, the rocktown, HP40, LRC, and rumbling bald have a much better selection 8) .

Nicoderm
Cut Throat
The Legend

Stretcherous 5.12b/c at Muir... V4/V5 start to 30-40 feet of sustained 5.11 climbing. South facing.

The Gift

If you're into gear, Perfidious Deciduous .11b has a low bouldery crux with very chill climbing above it
