Description
The only way to combat that sad and lonely feeling is to go ahead and leave the nest yourself. Climb past the anchors for Tammy to a small ledge with a BIG abandoned nest. Take flight up the arete that will immediately get your attention and stay in your face all the way to chains.
Smear, compress, heel hook, toehook, and get those feet really high. Leave no tricks left in the bag as you solve your way up the amazing arete that goes all the way to top of the wall.
This stellar extension almost got missed, but luckily we came back for a second look.
