Description
Arguably the best problem at the park with powerful, technical climbing and a flat landing.
Start with a right-hand side-pull on the right side of the arete at chest height and your left on a side-pull in some carbonate deposit hold. Step your left foot anywhere you can get a clean foot and match your right heel to your right hand and go. The problem ends at the very large side-pull in the shield hold.
Low start on opposing side pull right below the traditional start. Tends to be wet in the summer but dry in the off seasons. Its a good start to a great problem and not adding to the grade but it does get you full points.
First ascent was completed without the edge on the right face. FA used to the same beta into the left carbonite/sharp hold as the first left off the starting hold and then crossed the right into the shallow pocket above it. From there, the right hand bumped into the lower/smaller carbonite on the arete and finished on the "shield" hold.
