Bring Vantage Home
The poster or larger print makes a great wall decoration to remind you of your home away from home.
Routes & Areas
Areas on the guide include:
Tilted Pillars: as the name suggests, these are a little off-kilter but provide some of the easiest terrain for beginning leaders
Jigsaw Wall: down below the main area of Sunshine Wall, there are some shorter climbs here
King Pins: some of the cleanest, longest climbs in Vantage are here. Practically every corner is named and every arete is bolted.
Coyote Wall: to the right of King Pins, this mostly peters out into a jumble of multi-tiered columns.
Twin Cracks: the first area that many climbers get to at Sunshine Wall, there's some solid stemming and cowboy riding to be done here.
Trails & Nearby Walls: Routes to get to nearby walls including Jigsaw Wall, Fat Man Wall, Riverview and Tomato are marked, as well as the gullies and dog filter.
