Description Suggest change

A fun intro to multi-pitch. This climb follows a line of cleaner rock between moss streaks on the high left side of the Sunshine ridge formation. The bolts are well spaced on this one though a few gear options to 2" are possible.

Pitch 1 starts on a clean bulge 30' downhill from the start of a poplar thicket. Climb spaced bolts through fun moves to a section of easy scrambling. A short final bulge gaurds the an hoe. The anchor is slightly left in a tundra covered alcove. This pitch is 110 feet, knot your ends if you rap with a 60!

Pitch 2 climbs the bulge directly off the anchor before trending slightly right. More 5.6ish fun on good rock.

Location Suggest change

250' above the parking for Sunshine Ridge. The best approach is a scramble up Thrombosis gully to the tundra, continuing up and left to the nice tundra knoll with a large half dead spruce tree. Walk off as for Sunshine Ridge or rap the route. 2 60's will get you down in one rap.

Protection Suggest change

Pitch 1: 6 bolts, rap anchor
Pitch 2: 4 bolts, 2 bolt anchor
