Empty Handed Coyote is a varied technique Crack on the northern slope just east of the ridge on Sunset Peak’s northenmost peak just south of HWY 49.

 Start on bomber hands, work into irregular fists, and then find an armbar and foot sequence to get to the traverse and Topout moves.

 Lead on trad with a BD3, two 4s, one 5, and a 6 for full protection or just take the 5 & 6 for the less secure parts. For belay anchor up top BD4 & 5 and/or green and red totem will make a solid rope built anchor 15’ back from the ledge you can extend with the rope. Closer to edge are small boulders with less ideal placements.At 22’ bouldering / solo is on if you’re comfortable with armbars. Technically this would be a VB-V0 but do not want to mislead a gym-to-crag boulderer as this climb will require insecure crack techniques and likely feel harder than the technical grade.
