	22 ~23	★★ Memoirs of a Belay Bunny	Sport 13	★★★ Classic	Bruce McD
Super rad route! If you like If Women Were Gods you will dig this one. Route description: The route has lots of variation. You start under an overhang with a hard move off the ground into a crimpy bad feet crux that feels like it could be 23 to me, albeit short. Then a rest on the ledge (which detracts from the sustain) followed by slab into a super cool series of mini roofs that you need to style through! Everything after the rest is pumpy so I had to dial it a bit. Make sure you climb it on a dry day. As a bronkies route this is a classic in my book! The 23 next door is next!
