Description
This route follows the upper north-facing arete of the Watch Crystal face. Approximately 80 feet of fairly moderate climbing from the top belay ledge of Evolution (or the hanging belay anchor of Crime and Punishment) brings you to the top of the wall. It can be done either as an extension of Crime and Punishment or in an 80-foot pitch from the Evolution/Crime anchors. The first ascent party linked the Imps Arete with Crime and Punishment in one long pitch to the top of the face. If you do it this way, it's best to belay at the first belay ledge 35 feet off the ground above the technical 5.11- crux of Crime and Punishment .
This route offers some worthy exposure and stays on the arete to the top. Most of the climbing is cruiser, but there are two 5.9 sections protected by bolts. You will need a few pieces of gear ranging in size from 0.4 to 0.75 Camalot.
