Description
Arch Rival is a classic route featuring everything from technical stemming to powerful underclinging, with a roof pull to finish.
Approach pitch: Low 5th class. Climb up and right through huge flakes to a sloping belay. Gear anchor.
The Arch: Take off into an exceptional stretch of stemming and laybacking. This section will keep your head moving as you piece together the crux. Catch a rest. Next comes a super fun length of powerful movement out and under the roof of the arch. Deep breath before tackling the roof finish and traverse to the anchor.
