Description
This is a first pitch variation to Scott Baxters Original Route. Mean Old Sun ends at the top of the second pitch belay on the original route. The route goes up the black streak water chute to the right of the original routes first pitch. Begins on jugs making its way up to the first bolt. A large ledge is above where you can find a placement and then smaller pod which will take a #0.4 cam. Climb up the corner system to the right and then back into the black streak. Another piece of gear and then a bolt. The crux is a bit of stem fest so stretch those legs before heading up. On small crimps slowly stem upwards and onto kinder ground and a bolt. Climb the 5th class gully and link into the Original route and the 2nd pitch belay. From here you can finish up the original route.
