Description

Bolt line on arete with 4 bolts to easy slab then 2 more bolts and chains. Bolted nicely (aka Kevin Pogue style). A #2 cam is nice on the easy run out between faces. Fun moves top and bottom. Would get more stars if the middle section wasn't there.

Location

Right of Conceptual Reality on the arete.

Protection

clip clip clip plus a #2 cam if you want to tame the easy runout between faces.

This was indeed hard, as an admittedly not so great climber, in the reachy bit. Had a heap of fun doing battle with the arete, though! Aug 14, 2020
