Description

A wild looking overhung bolted arete jutting out into the forest canopy. It is visible from the UTW trail on the left side of the crag. 5.8 hand jamming leads to a slab where the bolts start and traverse left out into space and up the arete. Instant exposure. At the sixth bolt the angle eases to a stair case with one 5.8 move just before the chains. Previously 5.8X a bolt was added (with permission) removing much of the runout.
