Description

A very sweet arete route just right of Adam Ant. Nice, positive pockets on both sides of the arete serve up great hands while little edges and points on the arete give it up for the feet. Be sure to look on both sides of the arete for the pockets. A small crux comes above the second bolt trying to get to the great ledge and then another crux heading to the chains on a hold that looks good from below but is not quite as positive as the lower holds.

Location

This route is the sharp arete just right of "Adam Ant". Shown as route 13 on Monomaniac's center routes photo.

Protection

4 bolts to shared chain anchors with "Adam Ant". The first bolt is way high up the route but the climbing to that point isn't too difficult and there's a good clip hold.
