This is the obvious line just left of Classic Corner which offers steep and continuous balance moves up an arete which is capped by a small roof. Well-protected with fun moves and a nice view of the surrounding desert. Gear belay and an easy walk-off from the top.
Not to be confused with the more difficult and spectacular Skinhead Arete, this route was first toproped by Pat Nay et al. and called Jazzercise. Two or three out of five stars.
Maybe I was having a bad day when we did this, but I thought it seemed more like solid 11b. Much harder than Snap, Crackle & Pop and If 6 Where 9 on the nearby Creature Comforts Wall.
The Creature Comforts Wall is the backside of the wall with Classic Corner. It's a northwest-facing (towards the Lost Horse Road) wall with a number of cracks and face climbs. There may be a topo at Nomad. All FA's by George Armstrong et al., circa 1998
Wow - I must be blind, I can't believe I couldn't find the bolts. So help a blind man out, does it start directly on the arete, or does it start on the face slightly left of the arete on the shallow crack?

The bolts are so camo now that there is a bad epoxy job in the holes covering them up. This route is chopped and the chopper did not do a very good job on the coverup. Try harder crowbar guys.
