I felt the crux of this route was getting off the ground. After that it was smooth sailing. Oct 2, 2011

beautiful, sharp arete that is on you from the moment you leave the ground. climber's love to bitch about the grade being sandbagged Jul 14, 2014

Really high quality arête with beautiful perfect stone. A fifty-something like me can also get to the top, look up at Maximus (which is effectively the 2nd pitch) laugh loudly and head back to the ground... May 23, 2016

great route! The 1st bolt, as well as both anchors can rotate. could use a tightening up (I didn't have my wrench!). May 29, 2017

Neat arete with good rock and a great position. I had just lead horseshoes and handgrenades before this, and this felt more unstable to me so I had a bit of a harder time (It's just not my style). Still a fun, interesting climb! Mar 21, 2019
