About Sunshine Ridge:
MILE 4.7 Just after you pass Beluga Point, look for a large parking area bending back toward town on the north side of the highway. At the northwest corner of the pullout is a small top-rope formation with a sawed-off telephone pole as an anchor. To the east is a flat meadow with the cliff rising out of it, and many of the routes can be continued up Sunshine Ridge (the huge slab formation above the cliff). Routes listed left to right. |
