Description:

To the left of Betagraphic, follows arete. One of the Canyon's best 5.9s, with a fun roof pull at the very top (don't cheat by going around!). There is some loose rock on this one.

3 out of 5 stars Weird Climb

Weird kind of pumpy climb. I didn't see the last bolt around the corner and stayed left to pull the roof and run it out to the shuts. Someone mentioned to me that I skipped the 10a crux by staying left.

2 out of 5 stars Eh

Not one of the better 5.9's in the canyon, in my opinion.
