BETA PHOTO: Lunatic is the bolted arete on the left of the pho...


Description 

A very sustained and slightly overhanging route up an arete. Like other routes in this area, the holds look huge from the ground and some of them are. However, once on the climb you will find that many "jugs" are actually medium-sized crimpers.


Location 

On the middle of the three formations that collectively make up "The Galaxy" find the noth-western corner and you will see the bolted arete.


Protection 

7 bolts. Two bolt anchor with chains on top.

Thanks for your comment Brent. Its always nice to see someone thinks a route is as hard as I think it is.

I agree, I remember getting stumped near the top.

Sweet route, arete climbs are always fun.

Classic Needles sport climbing. Tricky right below the chains. Well bolted, solid 10b.
