Description
This amazing line tackles the right-hand arete of a large block deep in the upper reaches of Rattlesnake Canyon. Those who venture out to this area will be rewarded with one of the most asthetic and spectacular lines in Joshua Tree.
A start in some cracks with fixed pins lead out right to the arete proper where bolts protect technical and balancy arete climbing.
