Description Awesome line up the super blunt arete.
The Classic of the area.
Belay from the trail at the base of the arete. Scramble up the boulder the out the airy start to clip the first bolt. Continue more or less straight up with loads of hand-foot matches and balancy moves between jugs that are always just out of reach.
Location On the obvious blunt orange arete right on the trail mid-buttress.
Protection Bolts to nice rap rings short of huge roof.
Thanks to Nick Stayner for the update!

| Maybe I didn't get this climb, but I thought it had absolutely nothing going for it. |

| I lead Rico Suave in the pouring rain which was a first and may have added to the experience. The route was varied and featured and the movements were thought provoking. It had a couple of nice rests to help secure the onsight. Highly recommend. |

| Came here searching for dry rock an a rainy day. A key hold or two were wet at the bottom, but the rest was dry. |
