Description
One of the best arete climbs around, this thing just knifes into the blue, begging to be climbed. If you're lucky enough to be sitting at the top later in the day while there are climbers on this line, you'll be rewarded with a magical show of climber spider shadows dancing their way up the arete's shadow...a surreal vision set against the backdrop of psychedelic lichen and otherworldly stone...
As of c.2019, the start has been retrobolted by/with permission from the FA. Thus the only gear you'll need for this line are a few cams for your belayer, if desired
