Description
A beautiful barndoor layback climb on a pinkish-orange arete. Start up a short thin crack to a nice stance at the bottom of the arete. Paste your feet and crank upwards while fighting the urge to barndoor off. When the arete becomes too rounded to continue, make a big move up right (crux) to a small crystalline crimp that resembles a set of teeth. Above, continue liebacking using whatever small crystals for feet you can find. Very nice!
Protection
4 leads bolts protect the meat of this climb while a .75 helps with intro 5.9 moves to gain the arete. Additionally this route can be TRd by climbing Easy reach as the the two climbs share an anchor. Be sure to extend your anchor over the lip as rope drag can be heinous and eat your rope.
