[Hide Comment] This might be essentially the same line as Eye of Providence North. If so, this problem should be removed; however, if that is the case, Eye of Providence North's description is too sparse to really identify the line and someone should put up a beta photo or something.

I'm under the impression Eye of Providence North climbs the huge flake on the right side of the north face. The arete variation steers you to the left of the flake, so you don't use it. Apr 15, 2013

[Hide Comment] The North V1 sit starts below the central flake with a sort of double knee-bar and goes straight up. The left arete is also a good line. Apr 15, 2013

[Hide Comment] Thanks for clarifying. I def didn't do any knee-barring. Sounds fun. I'll have to give it a try next time I'm out. Apr 15, 2013
