[Hide Comment] This climb deserves more travel, it will not disappoint Snowshed arête afficianados.

Invigorating moves above bolts, crimps, slopers, and an exciting mantle - oh my! May 30, 2014

[Hide Comment] Only 4 bolts on this. Was the anchor originally a single bolt and you were supposed to top out?

More bouldery and less sustained than the other Snowshed aretes. Jun 15, 2021

[Hide Comment] Condition report June 2022:
All of the bolts are spinning and the crux mantle is kind of run out (my foot was three feet above the last bolt when doing it and I’m 6”1). The left bolt on the anchor is also a hanger and is quite rusted. The right bolt on the anchor is not spinning but is also quite rusted. Might need to be rebolted. Jun 15, 2022
