Description Suggest change

A forgotten Sunset classic! Don't let the R scare you. A climber who has any business on 5.11- trad should have zero issue navigating the moderate runout terrain (5.7 at worst).

Chimney up the wall and pillar to the right of RJ Gold. There's a couple opportunities for gear along the way, so bring tiny microcams for a seam above the chockstone. It's still not terrain to fall on, but it's very classic pure chimney movement with plenty of edges and holds. Before long, you can reach back, grab the juggy pinnacle, and clamber onto the thing for one of the most exposed positions at Sunset.

The step across the gap for pitch 2 (climb it in a single pitch) is airy but easy, and it rewards boldness with bomber gear. Continue up an easy corner crack, clip an oddly placed bolt, then attack the crux to its right.
