Description

Climb the bolted arete left of Crystal Ether and right of Wisecrack to a chain station on the ledge 25 m off the ground. A potential continuation up the arete above the station will be much, much harder.

Steady climbing with two balancy cruxes, foot work dependent. The grade may change a bit over time as some of the hand holds use grainy flakes.

Location

Single rope gets you down. Lowering will put you at the base of Rapidfire, well to the left.

Protection

10 bolts, rap chain and ring station at top.

[Hide Comment] Now that you can get to this station with a set of draws, hopefully the 3 crack lines will stay clean! Please avoid top roping off the ring. Use your own gear if possible, and lower or rap off. Thanx! Jun 18, 2014
