Sustained edging up a slightly overhanging orange face with the crux pulling a small bulge at about the halfway point.  Longer and possibly easier than Simple Twist of Fate.  The anchor is missing one quick link so if you're feeling generous consider hauling one up.  I left a leaver biner to assist in rappelling.  This route and its neighbor stay shady most of the day

Black Muddy Water

Simple Twist of Fate

Whacked Bloody Martyr

Sustained edging up a slightly overhanging orange face with the crux at the top.  Some hollow rock down low so have your belayer wear a helmet.  This route and its neighbor stay shady most of the day

Nice continuous vertical stone.  Lots of good movement and cool holds... pockets, double pinch side-pulls, knee scum, letter boxes and tasty edges. A touch harder than Black Muddy as it is harder to read.

 This line was spotted by Joe Shiefman and Ray Ringle.  Good eye guys. I think it is 2.5 stars.

Morning sun, afternoon shade.  Developed by Mike Argueso in early 90s.  

 Routes L-to-R: Simple Twist of Fate, Black Muddy Water, Whacked Bloody Martyr.  All are about 11- and 2 stars.

 Mike did a lot of work in Milagrosa.  Many Main Wall routes (including the popular Wizard and I Been Robbed) and most all of the routes on The Sunnyside are due to Mike.  He also drove the development of The Murray Wall and did a lot of work at The Boneyard.

 He scattered a few other routes around the mountain including the exceptionally good Cowboy Junkie on The Tombstone above The Boneyard.

 The dates associated with his Milagrosa routes seem suspect to me.  1989 ? 1990 ? I doubt that Mike or anyone else with a drill was there that early.  It was known to bouldering insiders as a VERY minor bouldering area in the mid-80s. Discovered by Murray of course.
