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.

Comments: I don't see how anyone rated this climb "PG13," it protects extremely well throughout. Beautiful line.

Comments: The linkup totals a little over 100 feet, you can just reach the ground if you rap with a 60m.

Comments: We took double Aliens blue through red, a single set of Camalots #0.4 through #3, an extra #0.75, and a set of smaller wires. That turned out to be the perfect rack for us, all I would change is taking two #1 Camalots next time instead of just one.

Comments: Amazing route! Don't know why you would want to mess with doubles though, a single rope is fine.

Comments: Surprising that I almost decked, since it's so well protected.

Comments: 5.9 seems like a bit of a stretch for the final pitch. I guess the first few moves are, but the rest of the pitch is 5.7, no more than 5.8. Beautiful stuff!

Comments: The cam placement (yellow alien size) is after the final bolt in the horizontal, flaring crack that is somewhat of a resting hold. It is not entirely necessary, but if you skip it you do get a little ways above that last bolt for the final crux.

Comments: For gear take thin stuff, mostly stoppers.
