vertxRoute Climbed: Mainly Sunshine Wall Date Climbed: March 2, 2004  Sucess!

What an incredible area. We did a number of routes on the Sunshine wall from 5.8 to 5.11. The routes were a mix of sport and trad. As a note, Herms Tower has fallen over. The 5.7 chimney behind it is now a solid 5.10c stem problem with long run outs.

darinchadwickRoute Climbed: Sunshine, Feathers, Green Wall, Kotick Wall, M&M wall, and others. Date Climbed: Mostly from '93-96.  Sucess!

My top 10 favorite routes:



10. Welcome to Vantage. A good crack skills test.

9. Stokin the Chicken. A crazy chimney, that is easiest done if you spiral up inside it, ended up facing out and down at the top.

8. Clip 'em or Skip em. For all who think a 5.8 clip-up is boring.

7.The Rod of God. Get up there Moses!

6. Tangled up in Blue. Like Party Pants, but a little wider.

5. Sinsemilla. Stemming on the harder side.

4. Riding Sidesaddle. A climb requiring big expressive moves.

3. Stems and Seeds. Almost impossible stems, with tiny incut faceholds for flagging and weird balance moves.

2. George and Martha. Begins with tips, ends with O.W.

1. Party in Your Pants. The definition of stemming.



I love Vantage for the stemming problems, and steep juggy aretes where the challenge isn't so much technique, but if you can get to the top before the pump wipes you out.

I've seen the blood from other climbers who were not wearing helmets, and died here. Enough said.

Cool place. Nice to warm up at the Feathers and then head down to Sunshine Wall. Led my first 10a here. New permit systems sucks though. Got a $66 ticket for not having one but my buddy's car (with Washington plates) parked next to me did not get one. Nice! Still, a really cool place.
