Epi Arete

From the top of pitch 11 follow the ramp up and right approx 40m to the base of the Epi Arete (see beta photo).  Pitch 1: Climb up a left leaning crack and pull over two bulges which leads to easier ground and a nice belay ledge. (5.8) 20mPitch 2: Follow up the left facing corner to it’s end and pull over a bulge heading right to a nice stance.  Face climb up the lichenous wall and find several key placements (0.2-0.3 and or small nuts). From here trend left to the edge of the wall and climb the nice slab up to a comfy belay ledge.  (5.9+) 40mPitch 3 Climb straight up the varnished face and carefully pass over a chossy roof section on it’s left, which can be avoided by heading right below the choss roof.  This leads to a beautiful Juniper tree just below the summit of Black Velvet Peak.
