Thanks Sirius, There might of been some friable flakes at one time on the arete, but it has cleaned up pretty well. From what I remember when I did it (Jan 09) the quality of the rock was pretty good, but there are some sections were it was a bit runout.
Del Frente climbs up the shaded face on the first pitch, then the sharp arete that's in the sun for P2. You can barely make out two climbers on the summit. Photo by Chelsea Morgan
