Aron & I cruised this arete on 8/6. Lots of fun but better with 2 hands.

The loose block near the top of P4, just below the pin-ladder. Early morning on 4/24/19, with the help of Mike McHugh and volunteers from ACE, we safely trundled this block and now there is a clean scar from where it once was.

Sorry, butt this one seemed cool to me. Enjoy this climb!

No, I didn't take this off a motivational poster. Two climbers enjoying a beautiful day.

The last pitch.

This is the trick for avoiding rope drag on P4. As you turn the corner from one dihedral to the next, there is a #3- below the #3 is this rope-grabbing notch. This is a #7 or #8 aluminum offset that I tugged on to set *upwards*, then clipped to the #3.

The fantastic final pitch.

Wild position at the summit of Yellow Spur!

The summit!

Best summit In Eldo.
