Sunset Arete (Variation of Wind Song Dihedral)

A good pitch with good gear, although small pieces are needed to sew it up.

Climb up the left side of an arete on the upper tier, on the outside edge of a left-facing corner. This is accessed after doing a few pitches of the '

Original Route

' or some other approach pitches.

Place small gear from the ground on the crux climbing (5.8) to reach a mellow arete with horizontals and features reminiscent of the upper pitch of

The Yellow Spur

,

Gambit

, or

Tiger Balm Arete

in Eldo... shorter of course, but similar climbing.

To descend, head east back to the corner and rap back to the shelf, ~80 feet.

On the upper tier of the Sunset Wall, a large, left-facing corner juts out to a Westward pointing arete. This feature catches wonderful evening sun. On the right side of this arete, there is a thin crack/seam that ascends up to the arete before terminating into horizontals, which also take gear.

A set of RPs and nuts + cams as desired.
