Description

A cool route through the big roof right of the Arete. 1 or 2 pitches. Climb the rounded buttress with good holds up to a tree with rap slings. Optional belay here. Above the tree, climb straight up to left-trending flakes and layback up until you can step right over the overlap (crux). Scramble back left under the big roof to the left facing corner. Awesome, awkward moves out a horizontal crack (5.7) with great exposure lead over the roof. Pad up the easy slab above to the anchor.

Location

Start 40 feet right of The Arete. Looking up you'll see a big roof capping a left-facing corner - that's your target.

Protection

standard rack. Two bolt belay/rappel anchor at the top. Two raps will get you to the ground, or you can probably do it in one with a 70m.
