Description
To the right of the Chockstone Arete is a line that takes off in chocolate colored stone with a tricky sequence leaning out to the left. The good holds are largely hidden from view so it is best to keep moving until a good hold comes up - which it usually does. Cut back right above the chocolate stone to a v-trough and a committing sequence that is probably the technical crux. The pump factor ratchets up as you near the anchor and the climbing feels a bit more committing. The cold shut anchors are several feet right of the top of the arete at a good stance that is not visible from below. Interesting climbing throughout and on excellent stone.
John Sore put up this route, Crystal Ball 1992/1993, as well a route to the left...to the right Lance Hadfield did a route cica 1994 that moves up and left finishing at the Crystal Ball Anchors.
