Description Suggest change

Island in the Sun is a nice slab route, closely bolted for first two pitches and spacing out for the lower angle 3rd pitch.

P1 25m, 5.7+, 12 bolts. Start 20 feet left of Island Express on a blunt arete, just right of a large boulder. The crux is through the first two bolts and again moving through two eyebrows by the 4th bolt. Continue up slightly easier terrain to a two bolt anchor.

P2 25m, 5.7, 10 bolts. Start right off the anchor moving up consistent slab past 10 bolts to two bolt anchor staying well left of a small tree (some hollow flakes surround the small tree).
P3 25m, 5.2, 5 bolts. Continue up past 5 bolts to a shared chain anchor with Girls on Surfboards. As the angle eases, the bolts spread out.Descent: rap the route with a single 60 meter rope.
