Description:

A much better start to High E if you are solid in the grade. At the base of the first pitch of High E follow a sloping ramp up and right, then up to a belay ledge. Head back left almost to the outside corner, then up (crux) to a smallish belay stance. Follow the arete to the High E belay.

5 out of 5 stars Very cool clilmb with an awkward start

The start is really awkward, going up the ramp, laying back the finger sized crack. Going around the bulge was interesting, then you see the GIANT hold. The rest of the climb was stellar. Loved the traverse, loved the arete.
