Description Suggest change

From the starting platform climb a crumbly slab to a bolt then traverse left over the 10' abyss to reach good holds on the arete. Work your way up to another bolt then run it out to the anchor using the arete and fat crystals on the slab.
The rock is very gritty (traffic seems minimal in the area) and some flakes are happy to come off. Make sure you look at what you're pulling on.

Great warm-up which deserves more traffic, it's just a bit heads-up for a first climb of the day. Get on it before it exfoliates itself into oblivion!

Location Suggest change

Grayo climbs the West face's left arete.
See approach information for the area. The route is visible from the trail, you can't miss it.

Protection Suggest change

2 bolts to a bolted anchor with chains.
A small cam could reduce the longish but moderate runout at the top (I think finger size, didn't have anything)
