Description 

I wasn't sure whether to call this trad or sport as it's entirely bolt protected except for one placement.

The semi-intimidating arete left of A Little Testis.

Slab past the first two bolts of Unusual panic which will seem like the crux if you're dialed in to Squamish slabs. After the 2nd bolt, veer right towards a crack where the slab meets a bolted arete at a left facing corner. Place a #2 Camalot sized piece (w/ runner) in the corner then continue up the corner until you can clip the first bolt on the arete. Transition onto the arete and enjoy clean face climbing (w/ holds) until you top out at anchors.


Location 

A few feet left of the Testis corner.


Protection 

About 7 bolts and one hand sized piece.

It's a pretty scary clip if you neglect to bring that piece of pro.
But a fun climb with some fantastic views and a very exposed feel as you move up and onto the bolted arete.
