Description

3 bolts of easier climbing lead to the arete.
Climb the left side with some very technical 12b around the 5th bolt.
From here reachy moves get you up to the traverse. Big reaches left lead to a semi rest before the powerful crux bulge. Relatively easier to the anchor.

Location

The left most bolted route. Goes up and left.

Protection

Bolts with a couple of pieces at the end. .75" range
