Description

This route is a clean, right-facing dihedral parallel to and just right of the climb Sunrider.

Approach as for

Sunrider

, then climb the obvious dihedral to the right.

Climb the dihedral through hand-to-off-fist moves placing good gear along the way. This is a fun route of jamming, stemming, and lie-backs.

A single set of cams should be sufficient for a strong leader, but a double set of cams would be better if you are not strong at 5.9 and want to protect the more closely.

To descend, belay over from the top to rig a rap from the top of Sunrider, or scramble up to the southwest to the rough trail down to the Northwest from up above Upper Peanuts Wall.

Protection

A double set of cams, hand-sized to #4.
