Arete-tastic!

Fantastic arete climbing: powerful and sustained yet precise and thoughtful for the grade, a great lead. 

Location

Start on top of the 2-3’ boulder below the mini bulge.  Pull the bulge, step right into the arete and follow it to the top. This anchor is easily accessed to TR or rap any of the walk offs. 

Protection

5 bolts, rap anchor

Easy to get sucked into the crack. Not sure if you're supposed to stay on the face. Definitely harder on the face.
