[Hide Comment] Fun route with several variations on the lower section. Note: if TR'ing, rope drag can be significant in 2 areas. May want to consider rope protection at the topout of the first headwall. Jun 11, 2018

[Hide Comment] Be sure the belayer is wearing helmet here. Lots of loose rock in the middle section.

Arrow Head and Salamander can be combined for a really fun route. Climb the beginning of Arrowhead and traverse right over the chert band to finish on Salamander. Mar 11, 2021
