Description

Start as for Scott's Arete and climb straight up over the bulge on small crimps. Most videos of this problem show the climber topping out left as for Scott's Arete, while the actual line goes directly up via different holds. The two sequences have a similar crux but the right (direct) exit is a bit headier.

Protection

Two crash pads for comfort.
