Gunsight - East Face

[robertm]

Went to climb the East Face of Gunsight (Vol. II Selected Climbs)last week. The East Face route has been changed by a major rockfall. The ledges were full of dangerous loose blocks which are razor sharp. It looks like a huge overhang fell from high up on the route and scoured the face. From the last ledge there is a 20 ft. high pillar to your right which is just waiting to go. We experienced large amounts of rockfall on the route and rappeled into the the cleft between the South and Main peaks. We completed the route via S. Face and SE Ridge to the Summit. The rock was awesome once we escaped the East Face and got onto the cool ridge to finish the route. Just wanted to get the word out if anyone is headed back there. The West face of the North Peak looks great but I am not much of a 5.10 OW climber.
