Description 

Located just left of the Mark's Moderate chimney/crack in the center of the Bear, this arete has some really fun moves with big holds on steep rock. After the third bolt, the climb moves onto the crystal-filled face to the left of the arete. Don't know why it doesn't have a name, but it deserves one.


Protection 

Four bolts lead to a two bolt anchor with chains. A little sling is nice for the first bolt.

Bring a 2 foot draw for the first bolt or expect your rope to get chewed on. Nice route.
