Description
If you are into old, obscure, run out climbs you can put this on the list. This route is a step up from its neighbor sinsemilla sunset in difficulty. Pitch 1 start directly underneath the anchors for sensimelia sunset. This pitch is the most fun you’ll have till you’re back on the ground. Slab straight up to anchors. These fixed anchors are at an uncomfortable location and the route flows much better if you climb 15’ higher and build an anchor on the ledge up and slightly right. 5.9 175’
Pitch 2 traverse hard right out the ledge till it begins to peter out. The bolt on sinsemilla sunset will be 20-30’ left and straight up. From here start venturing upwards and continuing right through crusty lichen and some deceptive route following. Do some searching. Build a belay when you reach a reasonable place to do so in the 80-100’ margin. 5.10R
Pitch 3 climb directly up through crusty terrain and build another belay in the 80’ margin 5.9
Pitch 4 climb 5.easy to the tree island
Rap down a lane of your choosing depending on the crowds.
Location
Right of Sensemilia Sunset
Protection
Double rack 00-2 and tricams. Using half ropes or extending all placements could make it very reasonable to climb this route in three purchases. I was unsure where to build safe belays and where the route travels so I did a couple short pitches. P
