Description
Pitch 1 - Climb the delicious right facing corner crack that leads to a good ledge at the point where the wall steepens. 5.5 20 meters 5 bolts
Pitch 2 - Move left off the belay and follow a variety of interesting features including a finger crack, hidden pockets, jugs and a cool rail. The business comes about two thirds of the way up the pitch at a slight overhang. Solve a cryptic but brief crux that leads to a good stance followed by mellow climbing to the anchor. 5.10- 25 meters 10 bolts
Pitch 3 - Step right off the belay and enter an ominous looking stem box. Blue collar climbing will get you through this feature exiting right onto a short slab where you can shake out and rest if need be. Continue up to a punchy layback crack and open book. Follow this to a small ledge and belay. 5.10- 25 meters 9 bolts.
Pitch 4 - From the anchor move up and slightly left on very high quality stone. Wonderful movement through a section of large edges and jugs leads to colossal flakes stacked on top of each other. These features may be unnerving but rest assured they are not going anywhere. Follow bolts to the last anchor. You can either stop here or climb the remaining 5 meters to the top of People of the Sun if your wings are still intact. 5.9 20 meters 8 bolts.
Notes - This is a new route so you can expect some loose rock here and there. Every effort has been made to clean all the holds but some loose rock is bound to be still on route. If you venture far enough away from the bolt line you are guaranteed to find dirt, prickly plants and other hazards. Protect yourself and your belayer by following the bolt line!
The pitches are short so you can easily link them. 1 and 2 link very well making for a splendid pitch. 3 and 4 do not link as well because of the overhangs but can be done with good rope management. Walkie talkies would be good for communication.
