Description

Bob Bank's and Steve Edwards' guides both say this one starts on a small pocket and a crimp around the corner from Deep Forest Arete. There are a few pockets on this face and quite a few chossy crimps, but I ended up following the center of the face using a chest high 1-pad deep two-finger pocket for the left hand, an okay right diagonal crimp with a little thumbcatch, set a low left foot on the mossy rail down left, and then you throw straight up right to a really good open hand sloper, and follow with a good crescent dish for the left hand and decent crimps/slopers above.

The alleged start. Could be lower, feel free to point out the correct start if this isn't it. Couldn't find a good description in any books. There's also a pocket to the right of this climb that is a bit deeper but starts with worse feet.

[Hide Comment] This is one of those routes where if you're strong enough, it doesn't feel too bad, but if you can't crank off the first shallow two finger pocket you've got no shot. Kinda painful, one move wonder, but worth trying as its right around the corner from Charlotte's Web. Feb 22, 2021
