Hoka Hey (9 pitches, 5.8), mixed bolts and gear on mostly good to excellent rock.
Sunshine Rock- Updated topos, Fall 2014
Submitted by Chris.Perry on Wed, 12/10/2014 - 16:49About a dozen new routes have been added to the cliffs and the base of Corral (Paddock) Wall Right was severely undercut in the 2013 flood. Topos are correct as of this Fall (2014) but some information is missing with regard to grades and first ascents. Please comment on Tabvar Facebook.
Note: New routes are identified by blue type.
