Description Suggest change

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

Location Suggest change

Located up the chimney right of the Old School Executioner. You have to chimney up and scramble to the arete. Descend either via double rope rappel to the ledge, or a single 70m rope to the chimney where you started the climb.

Protection Suggest change

bolts; a few thin hands to hands for the belay perch, if desired
