Description

This route is about 75' uphill of Evil Shenanigans and off by itself. The route is rather new so it may have some grass and plants on it, but the climbing is still reasonable. There is a variation seven bolts up the route. You can cut left to access the variation or you can stay right on the arete. There is a subrap anchor on this route as the climb is rather long.

[Hide Comment] Spacious bolting - 11 bolts to anchor. Sub anchor is not equipped with chain, links or rings at the moment, so unless you take quick links with you, you will have to thread your rope directly through the hangers (sharp edged Fixe hangers) to rap. Feb 14, 2017

[Hide Comment] Fun climb, still quite a bit of grass and plants on it. Once cleared off more it’ll be an even sweeter climb. Climbed the arete instead of the variation that goes to the left and up. An alpine draw or two will help avoid some drag if climbing the arete. Sub rap anchors have no chain or rap rings. Was able to rap from the top anchors using an 80 meter rope, just made it with some stretch. So definitely use the sub rap if you are using a 70 meter rope or less. Jan 20, 2018
