Description
Some poor rock initially leads to fun climbing higher on the route.
Pitch 1 - climb poor quality rock through the light band left of Sunshine Column; belay on the long ledge.
Pitch 2 - climb a thin finger crack (5.9), and enter the dark band (runout). Belay at the top of the dark band.
Pitch 3 - climb a 5.8 crack; belay on the left.
Pitch 4 - climb nice hand cracks into an A-shaped roof (5.9), then continue in a steep crack (10a) to a good belay ledge.
Pitch 5 - climb the obvious offwith (5.7) to the top. Or traverse left and up on easy 4th Class.
