corey on second sun


Description 

Second Sun is a full-value 5.9 that gets a well-deserved three stars in the DCA. Occasionally strenuous stances for placing pro mean you better be solid at the grade to lead this route.

A somewhat slabby start moves into a short, shallow dihedral, then to thin moves over a bulge. Continue up to a small roof; pull the roof move and follow another dihedral to a more juggy finish.


Location 

Starts just left of Blonde Ambition.


Protection 

Small to medium nuts and cams. Bolted anchors.

I don't remember stances for gear being that bad at all... though there were some heady moves above a #3 stopper at the crux. Awesome route with great protection!

Outstanding route. I enjoyed leading it so much that I had to bump it up to four stars!
