Description

Climb small wall with crimps to a 20ft traversing line of jugs cut into the cement. Hands only use the cement holds while traversing and pulling the arete. Use the same jugs and the under side of the roof for feet, don't touch the South Buttress to keep in line with the grade. At the Arete climb up to an anchor.

Be careful clipping while on the traverse, you will probably deck if botch it.
