Description:

Three pitches of high quality rock, with a stunning last pitch on the arete with tons of exposure. An alternative 5.7 start to the right of the normal start, provides a nice dihedral/roof variation. There are many options for the second pitch, including a wide crack on the face or the arete on the right.

5 out of 5 stars Very nice

Wide variety of gear. 1st p could have used more micro nuts, 2nd pitch could have used more mid-large cams. 3rd p isn't as fun as the first 2 but the climb overall, one of my favs!
