This moderate multi is indeed quite a ride if you can put up with some mediocre rock quality on a formation that some might consider a zero.

You got it. Well done.

You probably don’t need to bring sunglasses or eye drops on this moderate multipitch, as the name of the climb or the buttress it’s on might suggest

You can find this climb in an area that was recently closed then reopened due to rockfall.

A shot in the dark (no pun intended I suppose):

Sunshine Buttress on The Solarium?

That wasn’t my intention but that does work with the clues. Very close geographically. My route in mind has a more medical or scientific name.

Okay, I guess we’ll keep on considering BC to be in the PNW for now :)

This namesake route of the spectacular area had its first ascent in 1971, and its final ascent in 2022.

Bugaboo corner?

Yup!

Is the first half of this route where they came up with the comp style boulder problems? Either way if you can get though them, you’re rewarded with the splitter second half.

This is another route you don’t need to wear sunglasses on

You probably won't be able to send this route if you can't do a slab dyno, but you'd be a lot cooler if you did....

Man, I thought this would be a slow pitch

About 10 miles of hiking per 1 pitch of climbing on this holy journey to the east.
