Description

Sit start low on a obvious crimp rail at the bottom of the arete. Use an awesome pinch and some crimps to get up to a juggy side pull. From here there seem to be three options, all about the same grade, but with varying degrees of scariness:Mild: Move right up through underclings.Medium: Continue up the right side of the arete through several cool pinches.Hot: Transfer over to the left side of the prow using a block pinch and top out over the bulge. (I haven't committed to this one yet...)The stand start for each of these (from the left hand pinch and right hand juggy sidepull) is also fun and around the V2 range.Note: The talus at the bottom of this climb is pretty unstable due to the slope, be careful! 

Location

Directly across the gully from Tranquility Pillar. If you're looking at Tranquility Pillar, turn around and this boulder is visible about 30 yards away (south).

Protection

Several pads, the landing is sloping.
