Sunflower, 5.9

4th Pitch- 165’- 5.9/ This is the only required gear station on Sunflower (2008). Clip 5 bolts as you ascend 5.9 typical slabbish whitish face. Stay right of the bolts to find the moves. Eventually you hit another varnished crack and the going gets easier as you start placing gear again. As the crack deepens and gets larger, you will find a comfortable scoop/pod in which to set up a gear belay right below the corner above.
