Central Skyline Arete Rock Climbing

Just like most walls at Mt Erie Central Skyline Arete has many access points, these are the two most practical.

1. Park at the Main Wall parking lot. Hike up Trail 247 and at the junction take a right onto Trail 248. After only a couple minutes (at most) take the next left up the Main Wall Trail. Hike up hill and once in a meadow take a faint left onto the Skyline Arete Access Trail. After a minute or so you'll step over a swinging tree and probably see the bolt line on Skyline Lower Slab. To the right of that there is a 3rd class gully with a handline, go up this gully and be careful doing so. The trail gets a little worse above the gully but you're almost there. You should find another handline to help you up some steep loose dirt and top out at the base of Casino Wall. Follow the trail to the right (East) of Casino Wall and go up a 2nd class rock step, then you'll be on the very large belay ledge at the bottom of Central Skyline Arete.

2. Park on the top of the Mountain, follow trails down to Friction Slab. Spot some trees and anchors and rap down to the base of Central Skyline Arete. You may need to do multiple rappels and tie stopper knots because the highest point the Arete is over 100ft tall. When your done climb out, the route "Skyline Arete" (5.5) might be your best option but just about any will work.
