Description
Babble-On climbs the obvious sharp arete facing the Visions Wall. The route is distinguished by an incredible overhanging finish.
There are three optional starts; the offwidth to the left, the mossed over bolt line on the right, or the moderately mossed crack on the far right.
Pitch two makes the approach worth it. Place a #1 off the belay and climb past three bolts on a sharp layback arete (incredibly sharp and tenuous). Alternatively walk right on the ledge, then up and left 4th class to skip that finger slicing crux. Easier terrain leads to the incredible overhanging arete. Make a big throw, let your feet cut, and enjoy!
Edit: The "offwidth" to the left is the best approach pitch in my opinion.
