Description
This is the aesthetic south prow of Spike Rock. I decided to be a dipshit and call it the "Arete", not completely sure of a designated name. Eds. MP.com users identified this as Cocaine Corner. The true problem starts all the way at the bottom of the arete and actually makes a move around the corner to get situated on the arete, but many people start on the good lieback holds. Footholds are the key on this one, and if they cut, you're out of luck. A cruxy pull or two midway up the arete leads to good holds and the top. This is a worthy and extremely fun line. It feels like a highball.
Per Greg Twombly: this is a great classic boulder problem with a bad landing on a sloping slab. Start as low as possible on the left side of the arete, and follow it to the top. You get extra points for the sit start.

Eds. This is a combination of two submissions for the same route. To avoid duplication and confusion, the 2nd submission's info, photos, ticks, stars are moved here, and that submission was deleted.
