Description 

This climbs the arete on the right. It has tricky protection before the bolts. Thin, angled sidepulls.


Protection 

2 bolts up top for the anchors on an easily attainable ledge. 3 draw for the climb and a few small to medium pieces for the spaces.

This is actually a pretty fun route, but the chossy mess at the base of the arete is a major detractor. There is only one location for pro before the bolt (about 10' up), and it's amidst the choss and suspect at best. The crux seemed to be a mandatory, off-balance and height-dependent reach to surmount a blank section. Once through that section, the rest of the climb was straight forward, pumpy climbing. Worth the short hike up the talus.
