Description Suggest change

The only moderate multipitch on the wall, Southern Sun Spire has fun climbing and great views of the Switchblade.

P1. Ascends a nice, 100' face climb pitch to start. Climb through the small roof to gain more manageable 5.10a face climbing which flows through a couple of up and right-angling cracks/overlaps (10 bolts total). Pull onto the belay ledge above. This is definitely the best pitch of the three.

P2. Climb the easy slab above the ledge to a tricky roof, then slab up your way up to the anchors after this. This can easily be linked with the 3rd pitch to save time if you don't plan on falling. Bring slings to reduce drag, 5.8+, 9 bolts, 80'.

P3. Follow the bolt line up, climbing to the right of a big roof to gain the top of the route. Enjoy the great views, 5.9+, 6 bolts, 60'.

Rappel using no shorter than a 60m rope.

Location Suggest change

This is the leftmost bolt line on the main Southern Sun Spire moderate wall. Start on the slab below and to the right of the giant roof. Climb through the easy right side of the roof to gain the face.

Protection Suggest change

Bolts and bolted anchors.
