1) Never park or camp overnight at the access points.
2) Always park off the pavement, taking great care to avoid blocking the gates.
3) Clean up after your dogs. (Local climbers are finding abandoned doggie poop bags.)
4) Pack out all trash and TP, including picking up after others.
5) Use the outhouses if at all possible.
Description
This prominent, vertical arete is definitely out of character with the other jug hauls at the Pub. Jugs are definitely not a theme on this route. The hard moves start immediately with a strange press with the left arm to gain the crimps. Hard moves using the crimps and the arete lead up to slightly easier climbing. As the rock gets even chossier, move back right to the arete and at the last bolt move around the arete, running it out a long way on jugs to the anchors. The rock is not very good and the climbing is contrived as you attempt to avoid the tempting lefthand arete/crack.
