Rebuttal in the Sun

Another great, rarely done 4 pitch face route between The Direct and Stellar Slab, with some nice steep gear protected jamming and laybacking thrown in on pitch 2.

Start on original Prime Time start, 30’ right of lowest point of cliff and Direct Route start. After easy climbing for 50 ft, the wall steepens and Prime Time diagonals left. Diagonal right for Rebuttal past bolts towards an alcove belay at the base of an obvious vertical right facing corner. The start of the second pitch climbs this corner with mid sized gear protection for about 50’, 5.10b. The rest of the route is all bolt protected. After the corner fades, excellent face climbing, a little 5.11, leads up to a belay on the right end of the big ledge halfway up the Direct Route. The 3rd pitch wanders up the golden patina face, some easy 5.11, to a nice flat ledge belay. Pitch four traverses right to the last pitch of Shining Slab
