Description 

NBD is down the hill from Contortionist's Forte and about 5 or 6 routes down the hill on the west-facing arete. Steep and sometimes slick rock adds in to the fun of this good-holded, endurance route. Crux at the 4th bolt while turning the arete.


Protection 

7 draws. Tough to TR cause the anchor is on other side of arete. Bring long slings to TR.

I found the climbing on this route to be really awkward, and the holds slippery. I didn't really enjoy it.
