The 10a squeeze on the second part of pitch two on Shune's Buttress.

The money pitch. Beautiful exposure

Tom onsighting the excellent first pitch.

Doing my best to blend in on the traverse. We opted to build the anchor at the bottom of the crux pitch crack, reducing drag and keeping my belayer in view through the tricky off fingers roof. I highly recommend doing it this way.

5.10 2nd pitch fingers variation. excellent!

This trail will take you right to the base of Shunes, starting right next to the sign telling you not to go past it.

The first pitch is hard, but not as hard as the finger crack roof.

The roof pitch

Shune's Buttress. Photo taken directly beneath route. 5.11a variation is in the middle of the photo, while 5.11c traditional start is to the left. Can easily see next few pitches in corner system as well as roof pitch on pitch 5.
