Description

Start on a high ledge, stickclip, and boulder up the arete into easier but pumpy climbing.

Breaking right at the arch that separates the Zoo (left) from the New Zoo (right), this striking route goes up the arete that marks the beginning of the main wall. It is the first route you should encounter for the New Zoo area.

[Hide Comment] Really good route except for the jingus bolt placements in the beginning, requiring hanging from one bolt to stickclip the first and a goofy-long permadraw on the second Sep 22, 2015
