Description

Starting with holds on the feature to the left of the see through hole. Traverse right through the sloping rail to the last good hold then move straight up to dish with a good pinch on it's left side. Then traverse the lip out left to get the crucial left hand pocket. Go straight up the arete with trickery and power endurance. There is a key sloper up high and good texture out left in the black rock. With plenty of pads the rock at your back isn't a problem.

Location

North side of the Spore. Arete feature with a boulder in the fall zone.

Protection

Couple or more pads.

[Hide Comment] There is a small left handed crimp right above the pinch. Makes it feel a whole lot easier and static. Apr 29, 2019
