Description 

Fantastic arete to the left of Super Slide. Cruxes low and high.

I have not led this route. Old school Twallers have told me it went on double ropes.

Hope that more people will TR this great line because it is usually dirty and needs some love.

Green or yellow alien placed midheight is a perfect directional.

Location 

Killer arete just left of Super Slide, 30' left of Passages.

Can be TR'ed from the trail, which adds some 5.10ish steep climbing to the first crux.

Protection 

Double ropes, all kinds of thin stuff and a rather large sack seems to be the consensus.

Anchors (ring) are shared for Passages, Super Slide, and this.
