Description

Kinethesis starts on the comfy ledge between a large right facing corner and a beautiful arete about a 1/3rd of the way up the cliff. Scramble over several ledges to gain a grassy ledge below a small roof. One more ledge up and right is where this begins on a clean smooth face. From the ledge take off moving delicately and powerfully through a series of mantle moves past four bolts to a large ledge. Be careful there is a loose block just before the ledge that makes for a tempting hold. At the ledge step up and right to the next bolt then continue straight up to two more bolts to the lip below a small pine tree. Just left of the pine tree is a two bolt rap anchor.
