Description:

This pumpy sport route starts on the inside of the chimney formed by the Combination Blocks, on the outside edge closest to the arete. 6 well-spaced bolts, and a positive edge on the arete make it a fun, yet pumpy right arm side pull fest. Use two face holds and a bomber right foot to stand up and grab the arete with your right hand , make one or two side pull/layback moves to the first bolt. Continue to layback the arete to the ceiling where the two blocks meet. Make an exposed and awkward move out onto the second block, getting right back into layback position. Clip three more bolts and thread the chains at the anchors.

Descent Options:

Rap or lower off, single rope, 50 or 60 meter is fine.

4 out of 5 stars Tricky

The closely-spaced bolts (by Smith standard, anyway) are very welcome on the tricky layback upper section. If only the rock wasn't polished, it would actually be a fun climb.
