Description Jam or lieback an easy hand/fist crack (5.8) to a stance then move left and climb the delicate slabby arete to the top.
Excellent rock, excellent exposure and positioning with moves on the upper slab that are reminiscent of Suicide Rock.
Location Left side of the west face on the arete.
Protection Gear to 3.5", 5 bolts, anchors

| I think this is a classic climb. Be warned that the first bolt clip will be a reach problem if you're shorter that 6 ft.
The arete itself can be seen from Hwy 18 in the early/mid afternoon, illuminated by the sun. |
