Description Start at jugs down in the middle of the face. Move up and right over good holds until your hugging the shield. Climb up arete. I have a feeling that this one may end in an all out dyno for the top. I wouldn't mind having a couple beefy pads down below...
Location Far left of Plan B-- go to the saddle between Backbone and Plan B, walk south east along a faint trail near High Anxiety. Walk about 3 minutes, round the corner and there you are. "Venom" and "Things just got harder" are to the left of Huston's Arete.
Protection Pad.

| I don't think I would have wanted to dyno off of any of the holds that I was on. I just sort of grovelled my way onto some sharp small holds and got my feet up on the big holds at the start and I was able to reach up to the jug at the top. |

| the other day me and Remo did the right line with out the arete and then established on the small crimps and threw for the lip and both got it. I don't now if this is mostly the same as Hustons arete or not but it was a super fun line. Very bad upper holds. |

| haha gross. those holds at the top are hurtful as i remember from doing hustons... i would say that should be a new route/grade that you should name and throw on the site. brave men to get on those crimps again. Good work guys |

| last summer i was climbing a route that i think was just to the left of this, started sitting in the middle of the slab both hands on a big pinch and then stood up to stick a large undercling after that some small side pulls. i ended up working the left arete to get to the top but was wondering if the route was established and if anyone could tell me the name and or rating???? |

| Sounds like it's a variation of Venom and the left arete. That's my guess at least. |
