Classic Arête

V3, Boulder, 12 ft (4 m),  Avg: 2.2 from 10 votes
FA: unknown
Pennsylvania > S Central PA > Whiskey Springs > Entrance Area

Description

This problem, while not physically very difficult, requires a good deal of trickery and beta. Fire away!

Start standing on the arête with a left hand sidepull/undercling and a right hand in a thin horizontal. Smear and move left around the corner, grabbing a poor right handhold on the little shelf. Readjust feet, and move up left into a juggy pod. Top out onto the tricky bulge.

Climbs far better than it looks; classic!

Location

Just past the Entrance Boulder in a narrow corridor. The problem follows a short, blunt arête right on the trail.
