This is a perfect finger crack that can be climbed safely on gear. Use the finger crack the full length of the crack while stemming across to the perfect corner. This route is bolted with 4 bolts, but they should all be cut out because the route can be safely climbed on gear.

Roadside Right, sixth from left

Start as for “Silverblaze” but then continue straight up directly right, instead of doing the crux traverse left. A cryptic boulder problem on amazing water runneled, bomber stone. Sunshine Rocks test piece!

Roadside Right, seventh from left

Roadside Right, eighth from left

Roadside Right, ninth from left

Roadside Right, tenth from left

Link up. Do Face the Music to the last bolt, traverse into Clear Cut to the left and then up Bent jack crack. A long draw in the traverse helps with rope drag obviously.

Area has a big overhang with a woodrat nest visible to the right.

The left most climb of the three on easy terrain. Head up the left hand corner and scramble to the chains

The middle line of three easy climbs. Head up the right slanting features to the chains

An easy climb for first-time leaders. Climb up the on the right hand corner to the chains

This climb has been taken out of action due olts to poor quality rock. Several bolts look to have been removed, although a few still exist.

Short climb, A nice steep change from the slabs that are typical of the area. Begin to the left of The Jaxx, up in to the right facing crack, up and left over the roof. However, first bolt has been chopped.

Climb slightly overhanging jugs to a Slam Dunk, which gains the anchor. The most popular for it’s grade in Banff.

This short but sustained route, starts in the steep, ratty, cave. Venture up the right trending crack, into a powerful boulder problem that if you don’t climb efficiently, will surely storm you off. A very challenging onsight for the grade!

A very poor quality 1-2 bolt project (the first half is a ramble up loose choss. Not really worth attention. 5.10d/11a jump to a jug

A juggy climb up the short face. Unfortunately marred by two large drilled pockets.

None.

None.

Easy start until the cave, the crux is figuring out how to get up the side of the cave entrance. Good family route, the adults can get a work out up top while the kids enjoy a challenge on the starting section.

None.

The Ledge, first from left. First bolt is a left traverse from belay anchor.

Marked on the TABVAR topo, but no name or grade is given. Hard to judge the grade - pretty cruxy, similar to You Are My Sunshine. Some fun sidepulls. Seems to finish at the same anchor as Nakiska Myaska.

Paddock Wall Left, first from left

Paddock Wall Left, second from left

Paddock Wall Left, third from left

Paddock Wall Left, fourth from left. Route was bolted on toprope. It is clear the bolting wasn't done with any insight of where the bolts should be.

Climb the first 2 bolts on Hippus before moving right and straight up the slab. Take a breath in the scoop and get ready for steepish climbing to a fun Boulder problem. Very unique for Sunshine Rock

Following the floods the belays for the last four routes are tricky as most of the ground has washed away.
