Ascent Notes for: Sun Ribbon Arete - 5.9 Average Rating : 4.83/5

nice long route with great exposure.

Great terrific fantastic climb. Very long, with a long approach. But worth every minute of it. Crux on pitch "10" (obviously you can run pitches together however you like, it's an alpine route) was a delicate face move with bad pins for pro -- a little spicy, but what are you going to do, bail?!? Oh, and you have to go to the summit. Not just because it's there, but also because the 3rd class along the summit ridge is be-oo-tee-ful. Great day of climbing.

Great, one of the best I've done. Highly recommended for fast climbers. I made two attempts, bailed down the gully with one rope after ten pitches the first time, not recommended! Crux is the steep step 1/2 way up, can be by-passed on the right side of the arete, otherwise it's locker 5.9 crack to some delicate face (5.10-), way up there. Go light!! No pack

Long route, wow. Best route on Temple Crag.
