Sunny and Steep


Went to Sunny and Steep and got sandbagged by the guide:  the col approach is really a stupid way to get there.  We warmed up on a 10 to the left and then I nearly had a heart attack on Mr Choad's Wild Ride, but managed to hang in there.  I then got up Gimme Back my Bullets with a hang or two but decided not to try again and did Gimme Back my Bullets on sight, so yay for that.  We finished up on "Scorpions".  Then we walked out through the spectacular wash with polka dotted and striped sandstone and through the Kraft boulders
