BETA PHOTO: This pic should help you find the route.


Description 

The route overhangs briefly at the second bolt, and manages to be pretty pumpy for the grade.


Location 

The route is on the West-facing wall in the corridor. The East-facing wall is part of the De Spectaculis formation in The Arena. The route starts about 10 feet right of the arete, and follows a prominent rib, which is about five feet wide.


Protection 

6 bolts.

Great route! Plenty fun. I would recommend that your belayer wears a helmet. There is still some loose stuff that comes off. Being in a corridor there is no where to hide from the ricochet effect. Good stuff.

Looks like a textbook example of a bolted crack.

Looks that way in the photo, but the route only goes into the crack for a couple of moves then moves away on huecoes.
