Ascent Notes for: Shunes Butress - 5.11c Average Rating : 5.00/5

The best route I've done in zion. I found the short OW section to be the crux.
On the fantastic pitch around the arete, go low. Move your gear up as you climb. There are good faceholds which disappear as the crack gets wider.

Shunes is one of the best routes I have climbed in Zion. It offers a little bit of everything. The gear is straight forward and the rock is good. Bring one or two big cams and make sure to put in a few tips size pieces also. The rappels are easy to find just tend to your rope there are plenty of places for it to get stuck.

Pitch 5 is da bomb....green alien to #3 C4 over the course of 150 feet with a small roof at .75 size. Also, don't wear shorts if you're leading the OW.

Everything went well on this amazing climb despite getting poored on on two occasions during the climb. Luckily, the sun came out for the traverse pitch and the fingers/roof pitch. What a great day!

Onsighted the 11c on pitch 5, but fell on the 11c first pitch. Kind of a harsh warm-up pitch.

super classic. we were flailing. i got the burly chimney/ow third pitch and onsighted the short 11a face pitch. we epicked the rappels and got a rope stuck.

kinda got bouted on this thing but it's still one of the best in the canyon. i accidentally left my #6 friend at a belay and didn't remember it till hurricane. oh well...
