Pretty fun arete just to the left of Double Clutch and Black Rib. The first half of the climb has a couple of thin sections broken up by good rests, then climb becomes more sustained as you get closer to the top. It's a fun climb for the grade.

TR. A lead would probably be exciting, but I'm sure it's been done.
Pretty darn hard 5.10d moves pulling through the top moves. Very strenuous and sequential moving up from the sharp angular undercling move and rightwards. The feet positions are pretty crucial in order to pull off these upper moves quickly and effeciently. I have the darndest time getting those moves correct. This climb is different then alot of DL routes in that the crux sits right at the top.....
