Description
A fun intro to multi-pitch. This climb follows a line of cleaner rock between moss streaks on the high left side of the Sunshine ridge formation. The bolts are well spaced on this one though a few gear options to 2" are possible.
Pitch 1 starts on a clean bulge 30' downhill from the start of a poplar thicket. Climb spaced bolts through fun moves to a section of easy scrambling. A short final bulge gaurds the an hoe. The anchor is slightly left in a tundra covered alcove. This pitch is 110 feet, knot your ends if you rap with a 60!
Pitch 2 climbs the bulge directly off the anchor before trending slightly right. More 5.6ish fun on good rock.
Location
250' above the parking for Sunshine Ridge. The best approach is a scramble up Thrombosis gully to the tundra, continuing up and left to the nice tundra knoll with a large half dead spruce tree. Walk off as for Sunshine Ridge or rap the route. 2 60's will get you down in one rap.
Protection
Pitch 1: 6 bolts, rap anchor Pitch 2: 4 bolts, 2 bolt anchor
