Ascent Notes for: Sundance - 5.10b Average Rating : 4.58/5

One of the best routes in Idyllwild! Awesome climbing, amazing position... combined with Sundike one of the best routes anywhere!

OS

A must-do for sure. The Sundike finish is the way to go, but it's easy to do them both by rapping back to the top of p2.

Stellar! Every pitch, just stellar!

Did this climb as a party of three with Kostas and Nate. Zussamen!
Nate led the first pitch, I led the second, and Kostas led the direct third pitch (the seam). Overall the climbing was really fun and I felt that the 5.6R section on the 2nd pitch wasn't too bad with really positive holds.
The third pitch was a bit heady for the leader but taking any of the other variations looked more well protected.

I weighted the rope about 1 ft off the ground at the start of the 1st pitch to get one of Nate's nuts out after spending 5 minutes trying to get it out with one hand from a stance. Screw it, im still calling it an onsight.

Classic! Do all the variations of the third pitch. A 70M rope gets you down in 3 raps.

Not too bad overall, crux for me was getting off the ledge at the beginning of the second pitch, feels like a boulder problem.
