Tread up this prominent arete located on the eastern end of the Dogwood Crag. Approach via river crossing is certainly the quickest/ easiest access. Route is protected by 8 bolts, but is essentially divided into two sections. The bottom 2 bolts feature a hard bouldering style sequence which earn its 5.13 rating, where the upper section, though steep, eases up with a 12d finish.
Protection
8 bolts; chains; upper section typically includes fixed gear.
Is it true that the original start is on the right side of the arete? Some guys climb the faint crack just left of the arete to start.
But starting on the polished jugs for This Aint No Party is more fun than either, with the rest of the climb at .12d? If you're like me and want to work this but haven't redpointed, going left is a lot less taxing if you still need to figure out the rest.
