BETA PHOTO: Minnesota Strip Left

Description 

Climb the detached leaning column without using either side of the arete for holds. The crux comes about two thirds of the way up this large block. Reach the top of the block and continue up the right side of the face taking a direct route. A fun and challenging route, that tests your balance and flexibility.

• RCM&W #51, p.166.

Location 

This route lies in the middle of the prominent column on the left, further side of the Minnesota strip.

Protection 

Nuts, and small cams should do it. Standard top rope setup.
