Description Suggest change

This is a pretty awesome setting with at least one equally awesome problem, Arrowhead Arete (SDS).

Getting There Suggest change

Follow the main trail to the Warm-Up Traverse area. At the left end of the traverse (nearest the trail up), scramble over some boulders following the trail up and slightly right (southwest). Within 50 yards or so, you will approach a small area surrounded with rock and an obvious arete route (Arrowhead Arete).
