Description

Climb the arete to a crux midway up the route. Finish on steeper terrain at the top.
Watch your backside if your spittin' off .. there is a large tree there.

Location

Find the side of the Island that faces the Main Wall. The Arete is on the left side of this wall.

Protection

Top rope. There is a tree that sets back about 3’ at the top of this route with a chain around it. Place the anchor over the edge in a spot that reduces the possibility of hitting the large tree growing close to the route.
