Description 

Beginning upside-down inside the cave, (06) Pogue's Arete climbs the ceiling for four bolts before turning the roof and continuing up on easier ground for another 15 feet. Monstro jugs make this bucket-haul more of a test of forearm endurance than power. Pulling the roof seems to be the crux, but being that you're out over the opening of the cave, the falls are super clean, so just go for it!


Location 

Climbs left to right across the underside of the cave then heads up the face for ~15 feet.


Protection 

5 bolts to a 2-bolt chained anchor with lowering hardware.

It's fantastically unique to climb something this steep but still keep it at a reasonable 5.11- grade. Allison makes the moves on the horizontal section before breaking out over the lip. (Photo: Bill Geist)

Steep start but the holds are good. The crux for me was clipping the fourth and moving past the edge of the cave.
