Description
Shine On takes the direct line above the second bolt on the first pitch of Obscured By Clouds. Where Obscured moves right on the dike, continue more or less straight up on approximately 100' of independent climbing. Difficult friction climbing leads past 4 more bolts to the top. The crux is encountered getting to the stance for the 4th (2nd new) bolt.
Turn the roof on top before a gear belay. A possible alternative would be to belay from gear under the roof (probably less than pleasant).
The rock is of very good quality although slightly flaky in spots. It has cleaned up reasonably well, but should improve even more as it sees traffic.
Location
Start on Obscured By Clouds. Walk off.
Protection
6 bolts, same gear as for Obscured By Clouds (up to 2.5, mainly thin).
