Description
This is an old quarry with fractured rock. Wear a helmet, do not take anything for granted, belay defensively.
Starts on the Arete of FritzWaltz, heads left instead of right.
Coming in from the right ramp is a trap, appearing less strenuous but definitely no easier or safer.
Start on the arete (left of the bulge and far left of the lower angle scramble routes under the old visible ice anchors). and use it as well as some face opportunity to the right. commitment and confidence (plus a clean landing and a spotter) required toward a bolt at about 21 feet.
Trust your hands on the deck of cards and another similar one a touch higher, tap dance until the better feeling foot let's you lay back to a healthy stance.
"Hike" a few feet to the corner and use every feature and as much palm friction as possible to overtake it and get feet high to a good stance.
Continue right to FritzWaltz, or stay left to Ma'Ma Amotopos (Both terminate up and left). Going left will still require some trust. Don't trust the anything too much.
