Description
Want some of the best gorge exposure around? Climb the arete at the far left side of the Underworld. Enjoy the great movement as much as the view. Be careful walking out to it.
Note: Doug Reed didn't remember many details of the route or giving it a name. Tim Larick called it Satan's Glory so that's what we went with.
Location
Obvious arete on far left side.
Protection
Light Rack 0.3-2". 4 bolts, Anchor. The 20+ year old bolts are in amazing shape (this is why you use stainless!) The gear is for the walking traverse and exposed belay, gear before 1st bolt, and an optional piece between protection bolts also. If you want to leave the gear at home, be careful! A fall before the 1st bolt would be bad for you and your belayer.
