Spookier than Soup

Description

Cool little arete climb with a seemingly-sketchy fall, but pretty safe if you stay on the arete and right face.

Starting on the obvious ledge under the mini roof, bump up on adequate jugs and sidepulls and get your feet over the roof (crux). Hug the arete, take a seat and rest a little. Pull up using a slopey crimp and a optional mono, then shoot for the horn and top out. To achieve the grade, use high starting feet; stay off of the mossy lower block (see pic).  Most importantly however, enjoy the outdoors.

Location

In the same little cove as Spring Green and Season Killer. Park at the first lot and hike down the upper trail about 100' past the vehicle gate. Walk along the edge until you see the cove, with a huge overhang and a large dead tree stump. The best approach at this point is to go back left and scramble down, and then around to the right through the little pass. Spookier than Soup is the sharp arete past the overhang.

Protection

One pad works.  If you stay off the left face, the landing is decent.
