This is the face between Widow Maker and Double Helix. Finish up the face to the left of the little arete close to Double Helix. Going straight up the arete is a little easier and had been climbed earlier, and it was called "The Creation" (I think) by Eric Sutton.
A toprope.

[Hide Comment] Hi, this is Eric Sutton. Will Catlin climbed this route first and named it "The Creation". It wasn't me, it was Will. A very talented young climber from Hampshire College at the time.

[Hide Comment] (The Creation) was very close to Double Helix. (Hi Mike, how are you doing these days? Sorry I wasn't able to meet up with you and Kim last fall).The arete climb goes between The Guillotine and Widow Maker. It was envisioned by another climber who had been working on it. He offered me a try at it prior to getting it himself. In immediate hindsight, I should have left it alone for him - a very nice climber who deserves to have credit for the line. He may have named it "Creative Science". I believe his name was Steve. My memory fails me with his name but with his value as a person.

[Hide Comment] "Creation Science" was my name. It was intended to mock what was later to become known as "Intelligent Design" (another good name possibility) while expanding on the original name. When I spoke of an arete, I was referring to the vague feature just left of Double Helix, not the larger feature over near Guillotine. My version starts left of Double Helix and traverses left and up, when the original line starts getting close to Double Helix. The face out left is much harder than the original line.
