Description
Sunbreeze is a fun crack climb sandwiched between bolt routes on the south side of the Eastern Ironing Board. The crux is pulling the roof at the start which is shared with
Velvet Elvis
and
Hammer of Thor
. The hardest move in the crack above is only 5.8, but the crack and the slab to its left are more challenging than they appear from below. Lots of pebble pinching makes the climbing exciting before the difficulty eases near the ridgeline.
Per
Mark Roth
: there is a single bolt anchor. You can go to the anchor for
Velvet Elvis
via
Que Rasca
and rappel, but the second rappel bolts are showing some rust.
Location
Sunbreeze climbs the corner that arcs right to left above the start of
Velvet Elvis
. It is located to the right of
Hammer of Thor
. Start at the piton as for
Velvet Elvis
. Climb the 5.8 (S) crux of
Que Rasca
and rappel from the
Velvet Elvis
anchor.
Protection
Standard rack to a #4 Camalot. Belay on gear, mid size cams, prior to finishing on
Que Rasca
.
