Description

This wall defines "Sunshine". There may be a foot of snow on the ground... but it's more than likely the wall will be quite nice. High concentration of 5.9 to 10d. Excellent for the hardman to warm up... and the novice to enjoy all day long.

Getting There

Take the Sunshine approach trail. Turn left at the wall and walk about 3 or 4 minutes. Obvious "Big Black Face" with 13 or 14 bolted lines.
