Sweet Multi-Pitch in a Spectacular Setting

Sweet Sunday Serenade is one of our favorite multi-pitch routes to guide. 3 pitches of amazing granite offer 400 feet of great climbing to the top of the Sunday Wall, one of the most popular and prominent walls in Unaweep Canyon. With a rating of 5.9, Sweet Sunday Serenade is accessible to most climbers particularly because the majority of the climbing is 5.7 and 5.8 with just a few spots of 5.9. The Sundeck Ledge atop the second pitch is an airy yet secure hang with plenty of room to kick back and enjoy the views. From the Ledge, you can take your pick of a number of fine options to the top. Three rappels back to the ground complete this outstanding journey.
