Description Suggest change

-really fun-
When looking at the main huge expansion of overhanging boulder awesomeness that is the Olympus Boulder, you will notice that it is actually made up of two huge boulder blades, the left being set forward more-so than the right.
on that left blade, you will find the Athos Arete traveling along the proud right corner of the left boulder.

-Note: this should be no surprise, but the right boulder is off... Rephrased... Just climb the arete. Use common sense.-

sitstart at the very bottom on a good stretch of ledgy laybacks, and with a jammed right foot and a left foot on a jib. move up to a smooth bulge hand, followed by a hard set of moves beyond that, all with a jammed right foot.
move through several good, juggy, hand moves and heel hooks as the arete trends left. follow higher to more good hands and rest if needed. move to the highball feeling top portion through good hands and top out wherever you feel good at the top, even traversing more to the left and useing the rail below as feet.
