Description:
Moderate route, with great pro (you need 14 QD's + 2 for anchors), climb up arete. One hell of a view!

Onsight ascent by:
Took the long approach.
We were told all the roads were closed and to remain parked at the office for the approach. Then, we took the wrong closed road that made for a very hot one hour approach walking more than twice as far as necessary.
Had to do a few desperate downclimbs at the crux to be confident I would make it, but awkwardly muscled up it anyway. (I am hopelessly obsessed with onsighting everything up to 10a.) Found a much more elegant solution on two subsequent TR ascents.
Owning exactly 14 draws, I easily back cleaned one just in case...the one above the crux, I think. So, you can easily and safely do it with 13.
