Description
This has really nice arete and face climbing. The first crux is at the 4th bolt, and a second crux is just before hitting the anchors. There is good rock and fun movement on the face and arete.
Location
This pitch is on the North face of the rock and starts just left of
Fire on the Mountain. The first bolt is on the right side of the arete, and then you switch to the left side.
There is a mid-point anchor at 50 or 60 feet or continue to the top via
Sonata. A 60m will barely make it down from the top anchor. Tie a knot in the end of your rope!
Protection
It is fully bolted, although you can extend this into a long pitch by continuing up the upper arete of
Sonata. To do this, bring a #0.3 and 0.4 size BD Camalots.
