Description 

The sharp arête on the front of the main rock formation at the bunker. Start off the ground for full value VS starting off the block behind the route. Climbs a very bouldery and wind polished arête up arguably some of the best moves on any sport climb at Vedauwoo.


Protection 

3 bolts and an optional nut where the top connects with Spirits Rebellious.

I think this is one of the best routes at Vedauwoo. Perfect moves on perfect rock. Hit it on a cool day, the left hand holds on the arete are as smooth as river rock.

If you're into it, hanging extended/longer quickdraws on the two upper bolts make those clips more feasible. Stunning chunk of rock with really, really fun climbing.
