5 out of 5 stars Beauty, fun, perfect climb.

Around the fourth bolt is definitely the crux. I managed to get a knee bar somewhere around there on the right side of the arete. That helped. This is a really awesome climb, and bring someone to take pictures... it's quite beautiful with the mountains in the background.
