Rockfax Description
The corner can greasy but wonderful on a dry day in the evening light. Gain it from the base of Tequila Sunrise, or from the other side by delicate but easy traversing. Climb the corner to a horizontal crack. Traverse right to ledges then move up and rightwards around the overhang to finish. © Rockfax
