Description Suggest change

This is a nice arete stacked with 2 hard boulder problems that feel like they belong in the boulder field below. Start by climbing up a short flake that peters out to an undercling by the arete. Slap up the arete until you can reach the patina chunk out left, then mantle.  The next section requires some delicate footwork to a big move to a slopey ledge. There are couple of steep moves getting past the last bolt to the anchor. This route will make you feel like you are wearing moon boots if flailing or walking on the moon if sending.

The 3rd bolt will be hard to hang a draw for shorter people due to disintegrating feet. If that is the case, clip straight into the 2nd bolt and hang desired length draw.

Location Suggest change
