Description
This is a very striking looking line! When you see it, you'll want to climb it! Start in the corner on a platform about 6 ft above the trail. Reach left, clip the first bolt, and traverse left on to the arete. Climb up the overhanging arete using very positive holds until you can gain a stance on the right of the arete. (no hands rest here). Once you shake out, head up left to find some small holds on the left side of the arete and climb straight up to reach the roof (crux). From here, pull the roof, find the jugs, and continue to the top. This is a pretty good first 5.12a for someone breaking into the grade as the crux is brief, and you get an amazing rest before it. Super fun!!
Location
