Description
The East Arete is Classic - one of the best routes of its grade and type in the range....downright enjoyable!!!
![]()
I think it shares the quality and style of east ridge of Russel and the east ridge of muir...just with really low chances of running into anyone else.
Climb the East Ridge on enjoyable rock to the summit...staying left of the gully at the very top.
Fiddler Pg 94
Secor Pg 83
