Description

From Redriverclimbing: Afternoon sun. Stick clip the first and brave a bit of choss down low, then enjoy thoughtful and balancey climbing to the top. Gets some late-afternoon sun.

Location

Find this striking arete climb on the Left side of Velo, about a 3 or 4 min walk from the end of the approach trail stairs. Go past the climbs in the center and head DOWN the path to the left, not up and right. Lightning Rod Arete is located just past a narrow rock passage.
