A beautiful climb that goes up a low angle slab just to the right of Sunset Slab. Start about 100 yards right of Rising Moons, just left of a small gully with some bushes leading up it.

Pitch 1: Climb the face to a huge ledge- 5.3, 110'. Pitch 2: Go straight up, following the path of least resistance to a big ledge with bushes on it. Belay on the left side. 5.3, 120'.

Pitch 4: Climb the dihedral to a small stance, 5.6, 110' Pitch 5: Step right and climb up to above the roof on your left, then step left onto the face above. Continue straight up until a small ledge on the right comes into view. 5.4, 190' Pitch 6: Climb straight up for a full length of rope. 5.3, 200' Pitch 7: Climb the obvious crack in the dihedral above. 70', 5.7Descent Options:

Great Climb, Rough Rap
First pitch was easy, run it out; second pitch was mediocre quality; third pitch was a blast; fourth pitch was money, crack was easy to sew up, get your balls and hit the arrete solo; fifth pitch is fun, stay right, manky anchor; sixth pitch is long, real long, slung a chickenhead for an anchor; seventh is the crack, don't lieback it, it'll kill you; to rappel start third classing up following good cairns and find the "airy traverse" not as bad as it looks but committing, find the bolted anchors by the big pine tree, 1st rap one full 70, then a double seventy with 50 feet of downclimbing, then another fullll double seventy to the main ledge where there is a walkoff to the right towards the start of the route.

A really fun easy climb. I lead pitch 2 and 6, Jay lead the others.
The down rappel/down climb is another story. Maybe there is a better way than the way we came down.

Pretty chilly when the sun goes over the mountain
Climbed with Jay and Padraic. My favorite pitch was the "easier than it looks" 5.6 dihedral. I forgot which pitch it is.
