Description
Unlike the other steep tufa routes this one requires more delicate climbing up small insecure holds.
Climb up onto a boulder and cover some easy ground to the first bolt. Quickly the climbing becomes balancy and tough to read. Continue up getting the occasional "great" hold to some large rest huecos. Rest here a make a few cool layback moves to the mid anchors.
After the Mid Anchors the climbing changes dramatically to overhanging slopers. Pull a hard boulder problem V5? and continue up another 3 bolts to send Sun Burst 13a
Location
Between Dead Sea and Millenium Meltdown. Starts above a large boulder blocking the trail.
Really I thought the rock quality was pretty good. A few holds felt "crumbly" but nothing pulled off. I pulled alot more off of Black Sunshine and other routes on this wall. Like alot of Homestead routes they could use some more traffic to clean things up.
