Description

This is located on Sunshine Wall to the right of

Turkey Foot Crack

. It is best to either establish a belay on the sloping ledge by the tree (hand-sized pieces in the crack) or on the ledge below (off width scramble involved).

Steep 5.10 crack and face climbing take you to a stance below the crux. Luckily, it has three fixed pins because it is helpful having both hands available to stay on the rock through the technical crux section.

Note that one of these pins fell out recently and has been replaced with a bolt.

Tie off the small tree because the next bit of gear above the pins is small and not particularly confidence building. Be brave because 1/2 move higher gets you some good cams. Save some juice for the sting in the tail before the anchor. 80'.

Edit to add: The tree has been slowly prying off the flake that it rests in so slinging the tree for protection is not advised.
