DeAngelo et al on the neat and clean upper pitches.

Sunset Slab- - Interactive 360°: https://go.ibex.fit/mp

the final rib (the hand crack is on the far right side as you near the top)

the hand crack (lichen didn't interfere with the friction)

the raps start in the gully below this crack

Looking up the easy low angle slab that leads to the awesome hand crack finish.

Brett on the final pitch. I thought this corner was the crux of the climb (5.7), the recent guidebook called it 5.6.

From the top of the route, there is still some scrambling to reach the descent ramp.

First Creek Slabs (left) from the approach

start

Looking up on the upper rib. The foreshortened exit corner is visible immediately to the right of the belayer.

This is the steep third class approach to the start of the route. After climbing this ladder of pockets, step left and down to the ledge above the giant jumble of boulders, which will put you at the start of pitch 1, right where fossana's "charlie brown tree" picture was taken.

Looking up at pitch 1.

Looking down on Pitch 3. Great protection and fun climbing.

This rap station is somewhat hidden from above. I believe there are two more rappels after this to the ground.

Looking up at the great finger crack at the start of Pitch 2. You can vaguely see the rope to the left of the frame.

Moving to the right onto the upper rib.

approach pitch, P1 of Rising Moons

Nice face climbing low on Sunset Slab.

Rising Moon/Sunset Slab start

Rap Station 2 Anchors.

Nice, well protected slab with a bulge

Looking up at Pitch 1. Fun and mellow start.

looking back at the slabs

Rap station mid way down the descent gully.

The lovely corner!

You can see the large pine tree which is directly above the descent gully.

Approaching the belay position to the left of the midway headwall of Sunset Slab.

Rappelling from the 2nd station.

looking down the last pitch

the Charlie Brown Xmas pine tree on P1 proper

The ledge to the left of the frame is the intended pitch 2 belay station. We belayed from the middle of the slab.

scramble up the circled area, on the left side of the large split rock. there are haphazard trails up the small mound of dirt/rock/shrub 2/8

very Flatirons-like climbing so far

taken left of that big split rock. scramble up and right, follow the red line in the picture 3/8

Looking up from the bottom of the first rappel.

taken from atop the large split rock looking at the wall. climb starts just around corner in circle past the bush, left of the mars crater rock 6/8

upper ramp that accesses the raps

after coming up the large split, keep going right along the wall and you'll see the alcove start ahead/left 7/8

First rap station, below the large pine at the top of the gully.
