Description
Steep and wild climbing up a leaning arete.
Begin climbing edges up a low grade slab to the base of the arete. Using flakes, a pocket, and two long ribs, fight gravity past a few bolts to a handful of positive and negative features near the top. A three inch slot marks the crux, fall back off this and hang on!
Short and pumpy, remember you have heels...
Location
This is the second route in from the approach trail. It the striking and unmistakable arete between Nickel Bag and Mockery.
