Description To the right of the Chockstone Arete is a line that takes off in chocolate colored stone with a tricky sequence leaning out to the left. The good holds are largely hidden from view, so it is best to keep moving until a good hold comes up - which it usually does. Cut back right above the chocolate stone to a V-trough and a committing sequence that is probably the technical crux. The pump factor ratchets up as you near the anchor and the climbing feels a bit more committing. The cold shut anchors are several feet right of the top of the arete at a good stance that is not visible from below.
This has interesting climbing throughout on excellent stone.
Protection Eight to ten draws and a rope.

| This route is AWESOME. A must do for anyone climbing at the grade. Felt a bit harder that 12a, but no more than 12b/c. Please take my advice and top the route out, its the crux move. |

| The photo above is of Crystal Ball on the South side of Haus. Varment is also speaking of C-Ball which is classic and has an amazing top out. This un-named route is the rightmost bolted line on Alpenglow. It's rated 5.12, but I would say it's closer to 5.11+. Not nearly as good as Crystal Ball but something fun to do. |
