Comments: Linked P3 and P4 (short 11a pitch and crux roof pitch), would highly recommend this approach. Eliminates that awkwardly short 11a pitch and less comfy belay stance, gives you more rope out for softer catches in the cruxes, and is easier to lower back to if you are working the pitch.
A quick word on aiding: A hold recently broke on the 12+ open book pitch (the clipping hold for the first bolt). Its unclear whether this was from aiding or not, but from the nature of things seems likely it could h... more >>

Comments: Quite fun. Although certainly not "the best multipitch sport route within 1 hour of Boulder", it is still a worthy outing. Surprisingly pumpy pitches due to the style: lots of flat, difficult to find holds.

Comments: Climbed today. Lots of thin, poorly bonded ice (pretty warm temps) but still tons of fun. I'd say pushing M6 on the grade but solid pro for the most part. Could certainly use a few cold night, lots of stuff falling off. Took us 4.5 hours bottom to top at a moderate pace, so I agree that "Grade IV" is a bit dubious.

Comments: Granted this is a confusing face in general, but we tried following this route description and found it just slightly better than useless. Could definitely use some beefing up with better references to cognizable features. At least this face is so featured, no matter what you do you aren't really going to get yourself in trouble.

Comments: I second the "super fun" conclusion, although going from the sit-start felt harder than V5 to me. Perhaps I was just burned at the end of the day, but I would have thought more like V6 or V7.

Comments: Great route, 12d is quuuuiiiiite a stretch, I would think 12b, especially in comparison to Anarchitect next door. But who cares, still super fun all numbers aside.

Comments: Definitely burly, and having the fixed nut helps. The 5.12 rating is probably a little more solid now that somebody broke that left foot nubbin off...ma bad.

Comments: Amazing route, splitter line. Didn't have gear so did it on the bolts, it would be BETTER protected if you led it on pure gear.
Two questions:
1. Why was this thing ever bolted?
2. Why hasn't someone chopped the bolts?

Comments: It has become common to start this route in the dihedral to the right of the arete, essentially skipping the first two bolts (particularly by those doing it during the 24 hour comp). If you do this the rating is reduced to a few fun moves of 5.11-, but you do miss out on some neat movement down low on the arete.

Comments: Fantastic route on a beautiful arete, but not 5.11c/d. 5.11a at most, though that isn't meant to detract from the 4 stars I gave it.
