Description
This is a neat line on a unique feature that has a long history of climbing (and other shenanigans). The rock quality wasn't the best (although we did our best to clean it up) but it is very high on aesthetics.
Climb the southeast arete past 3 bolts and gear to an excellent belay at the top (bolt anchor back from the edge a bit). Step back out to the perfect belay seat at the top and enjoy the view.
