Description 

Slab/arete route with varied climbing enjoyable for the taller climber with some considerable confidence pulling hard slab moves. Also, fingers/tnedons of steel would be helpful.

The crux move is moving left off of a terrible mono divot with a very bad foot match.


This is a great climb for the 5.12 experienced climber to enjoy!


Location 

Arete to right of Easily Flakey.
Arete right of Strecth Armstrong.


Protection 

6 bolts to anchors.

A blue TCU or alien makes you feel better between the last two bolts.

As of 11/09, there are 6 bolts (no pin as indicated in the Cater Guide, 3rd edition. Also, a yellow or green alien protects the section between bolts 5 and 6. Also, a black alien fits perfectly in the obvious slot before the mantle up to the shuts. Awesome line!
