Description 

This route gives an introduction to the steep, exposed climbing of the Sunshine Face, at an easier grade than the routes to its left. Climb the initial section of Buttress Chimney, then move up and left along a 5.7 ramp (often covered with pine needles) to belay bolts. The crux pitch follows thin face climbing on great rock, up and left, then back right, finishing at Paisano Ledge.


Protection 

Bolts plus a light rack (include a few pieces to 3 inches for the belay at the top)

The opening moves of pitch one are the hardest moves on the climb!
