BETA PHOTO: Thunder Point. Sunset Arete (11d) is the sport ro...


Description 

A decent line, though the climbing employs more face and slab technique than arete. This climb which is visible from the fence trail follows nine bolts up a broad arete past a couple of roofs. There is a hard move getting to the 2nd roof though the crux comes after the roof when the bolts switch to the right side of the arete.

Beta Alert: Even though the final three bolts, those above the 2nd roof, are on the right side of the arete, the holds are on the left.


Location 

On the left side of Thunder Point, about 100' south of the fence trail.


Protection 

9 bolts.

I would give this route a bomb rating -- it's completely covered in moss and the movements are also pretty awkward. It definitely does not deserve any stars.

Fun route, exposed, a little dirty but beautiful climb. Two stars in my book!
