| Steep fingers off the deck and then the typical east a wack factor in a flare. Good climb. |

| I thought it a tad stiff for 10a, but then it's all relative. Short- yes, fun- yes. Classic??? Once again, I guess it's all relative. I sure wouldn't hike up here to do it, but if you are here and you climb 10s it is not bad. |

| They used to call it 5.9 when they did it in the 1970s in EBs. I think it's classic in an old school East A way. |

| Actually Tim, when we did the FA of this climb, I was still mostly wearing the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Low Top Sneakers. EBs hurt way too much to wear for very long and as a poor college student couldn't afford 'em anyway! |

| P1: tips lieback into hands into East-A awkward pod (protect w/ #3). Traverse left to anchor.
P2: face climb immediately above anchor, get into wide hands/ #4 sized crack to a ledge, new BD #5 (two would not be a bad idea) protects upper stacked-fist sized crack to the top of the Picto Cracks/ Double Exposure area.
Anchor: gear belay or terrain belay as the leader could not get sucked through the wide crack the follower comes up and through.
Continuing up the infamous "Black Arete" is recommended! |
