Hesitation - 2nd pitch.
Add Photo  Printer View
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! |

| There are several bolts on this climb, some you'll want short quickdraws, others, alpine draws with the sling extended to reduce rope drag via the zig zag line. There's also at least two chicken heads that can be slung. Note: you can't drop down the original route line even with a 70; 3 rappels to the left of the climb take you down to the base, southwest of where you started. |
