Another fun route at the Candy Store. Seems to be several different ways to climb this route. Stay close to the arete right of the bolt line (less sustained) or stay just left of the bolt line (more sustained) and go up the face. Both versions feel 10a with the crux near the bottom.

Sugar Daddy

Start at a softball sized pocket and pull up onto good edges. Continue up on positive edges and a few fractured plates, clipping four bolts along the way. Most believe the crux is between the 1st and 2nd bolt. Clip the anchor (a pair of Mussey hooks) and lower off.

The crux is getting to the first bolt, which is a little high for the Alabama Hills. After the second bolt, the angle eases and the difficulties ease quite a bit.
