1) Never park or camp overnight at the access points.
2) Always park off the pavement, taking great care to avoid blocking the gates.
3) Clean up after your dogs. (Local climbers are finding abandoned doggie poop bags.)
4) Pack out all trash and TP, including picking up after others.
5) Use the outhouses if at all possible.
Description
Do the beginning part of Sea Monkey up the chossy crack but midway where you get to a stance on Sea Monkey clip bolts out right on the Arete. Prepare for battle and go into the steep arete out right with a difficult but fun and well protected V4 boulder problem. There is a hard clip mid-crux, but you want to clip. Regain composure at a stance and clip. From there continue up the beautiful arete until a final 11+ heartbreaker RP crux below last bolt. Rope stretching 35m pitch. TIE A KNOT. The arete is wild, airy, and surprisingly exposed. Enjoy!
