One Way Sunset 

4th pitch "oneway sunset"If your in the mood, the fourth 5.8 pitch is great. No doubt there is a price to pay, some poor rock, bird shit and some strugle. Most of the steep stuff (wich is most of the pitch) though is good rock and really neat to climb on. Good spot on the tower, and one really nice belay. The Rap off that side alone is worth doing. So if your up to adventure dont stop short, keep going, it is one of the few routes on the west face to go to the top on. USER BEWARE

Be warned, the first and second pitch require totally different gear. The first pitch takes nuts and small cams (think yellow alien). The first half of the second pitch takes red #1 camalots, and the upper section of pitch two is yellow camalot size.

Has anyone other than me done the route Astro Glide that climbs the arete right of One Way Sunset? Dennis Horning let me snag the FA of this line years ago and I was wondering if anyone ever does it? How hard did you thin it was. Post your thoughts under the route.

Superb. Just like many tower pitches, P2 is a rope eater. While thouroughly enjoying jamming my way up i saw remnants of 3 various cords that had seen some unfortunate events. Our line was almost a victim as well. That said, be gentle lowering your rope if rapping from P2.

Pitch one is straight-in splitter goodness for fingees. Pitch two is slamma jamma time for hands. mmmmm mmmmm good!!!

Both pitch 1 & p2 are excellent ... just in very different ways.

I'd take 2 pieces to 4 inches for p2, they'll be more secure than 3.5 inchers. You could probably take hexes instead of cams, if anyone still climbs with the old cowbells!

If your gonna climb the one-way sunset, i'd highly suggest climbing the complete route, alittle loose towards the top, but excellent none the less.

You can rap off of pitch one with a single 70m line (just barely). And to avoid the rope eating crack on pitch two, do a short rap under the roof to the anchors on top of California Dreaming, then rap to the One Way Sunset Anchor (all raps can be safely made with a single 70m line). This makes it possible to TR Cali Dreaming.

The first pitch gets my vote for best 5.10 on this amazing Tower!

P1 - Stellar. The fingers portion is awesome, and little feet keep appearing to keep things happy. I placed many cams in the green alien to #0.5 camalot size. Nothing larger than a #0.5 camalot needed.

P2 - Yeah, um, heed the comments to bring gear to #3.5 inches. For whatever reason I didn't and regretted it. Rather than contend with 40' of runout, I did an awkward step left to the anchors on California Dreaming. It worked out. Next time, cams to #3.5 inches :) I'd probabably bring two or three #3 camalots, a #3.5 camalot, and maybe a new style #4 camalot (don't know if it would fit though...?)

I kinda like dirty pitches in the middle of long classics. But after the four star pitches 1 and 2, pitch 3 just sucked. I looked up at pitch 4 and we rapped off!

We were able to skip the rope-eating pull by doing a 60m rappel to the Fractal anchors (from the P2 anchors).

A little hard to find for us. Head all the way to the north end of the west face and climb up some 5th class blocks to access the anchors for the first pitch. The beginning is a little sporty, with the gear present but not obvious. Two pitons protect the 1st and last pieces before embarking right to the splitter crack. Bring doubles in .3 camalot to .5 camalot with a couple extra nuts or tcu's in that range. The 2nd pitch is as good as the first, but I would have wanted 3 of each from #1 camalot to #3.
