Description Suggest change

Begin from a stand start at an obvious nodule on a shelf at chest height. Surf the slopey and slightly overhung left-trending arete up and left to the apex of the short overhang where you topout. Get on this sequential and slopey gem early in the day in the warmer months, since it faces south, catches morning sun and warms up quickly.

This is the best of the 4 problems on this little overhanging face, but each is a far cry from the arguably 4 star quality of the moderates Canvas, Timeline and The Ladder, each of which are no more than 10-15 yards away.

Location Suggest change

The Zorro Arete is located just a few feet right of Zorro and The Rapier and about 15 yards right of The Ladder, all of which are on the same boulder. Find the bottom of a rising and overhanging left-trending arete with a slopey and tricky looking topout and you've got it.

Protection Suggest change

A few Organic pads or maybe a spotter are helpful, since it is a rising lip traverse.
