Sunbreeze

FA Rob Woolf and Richard Rossiter, 1988.

UPDATED 

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

.
