Location This is in the Upper Primo Area above Nomad Cave. It is the left-facing arete about 25 feet left of Mildage.
Description Bolted by Luke Childers, this route is a very stellar line with beautiful green streaks of lichen in the rock. After about 12 feet of climbing there's a no hands rest, this is where the route truly begins. The route starts by grabbing holds on both sides of the arete with a good amount of body tension. After pulling the crux, just hold on until you mantel up to the anchors. The rock is clean and the holds are very fun and sometimes a bit odd.
Protection 6 bolts & 2 bolt anchor.
Pulling through the crux.

| This route is so much fun! Thanks for letting me get this one, Luke, I owe you a cold one. As for the rating, my guess is around 5.12, but it's difficult to be specific. It's harder than 12b, but easier than 13a |
