Walnut Avenue is a little like Stonehenge and the solstice sun comes up right over the road (and right in your eyes).
Frigid at 7:30 but very pleasant by 8:30 - even took my gloves off.
The solstice of course, is not a day - but an instant in time; simultaneous over the entire earth... and it happened at 09:13am PST while JB and I were BS'ing at the Junction.
Didn't see many people on the way up but lots of them were climbing when I was on the way down.
I put my Contour mount on the handlebars - what do you think? It's a little less room for my hands on the top, but you don't get the cables and brake lever in the video.

| Some people call this "The Four Poles"... nice for reference but not a very catchy name. |

| OOH, this is a good shot. |

| This one's not bad either. |

LanceOldstrong and I just call that section "The Poles". We know it's steep from there all the way to Devil's Elbow, then recover a bit for the wall.
