Description
This is THE line on the Spaceship. But where's the line?
After a hundred different variations, I think I've boiled it down to a smooth, fun line that goes something like this:
Layback the nice edges at the Cockpit of the Spaceship to get your feet off the ground on the overhanging face. A couple of long reaches gets you to bomber edges along the Arete.
Now, instead of continuing straight up the arete(which makes the climb easier and is a fine alternative), follow a line of nice crisp edges right, out onto the overhanging face. Watch your feet. Reach for the crisp horizontal on the right side of the face a few feet below the pointed summit. Now, fire straight up the prow using small, but good, chickenheads and snag the pointed arrowhead summit - victory!
