Description

This is a large block with a prominent northerly-facing arete tucked amongst some other boulders. One excellent but committing problem exists - Alien Arete (V4 R).

Getting There

Walk northeast from the parking area heading for the north end of the first large formation visible; the arete is visible from the trail off to the left as you approach from the car and takes about five minutes or less.
