Description
Sun King Direct is one of the most aesthetic lines to be found in all of Secret Canyon. It stands proudly against the backdrop. The route tackles a vertical 80' pillar, with the middle section dominated by a large, unique scoop/hueco feature.
This is a mixed line, and the gear in the middle is hard to place, with the best pieces being small #4 wires. A #2 TCU can also provide some reassurance. A couple moves above this there is a good #2 Camalot pod before launching back into the scoop and the final two bolts of business. Crack system to the anchors.
A really good line, and worth the effort. Listed as .12- in A Cheap Way to Fly.
