The True Graduation

Description

Start on a low big jug pocket with a heel hook out right. Move up the arete using sloping pinches on the arete to where the arete comes to a point. Find sloping holds on the arete over the point and make a hard move over the point to a good ledge. From the ledge move up to a good pocket and continue up the arete to an easy but plant crowded topout.  The topout has a lot of rhododendron in the way and you can get through it very safely but you'll have to work your way through it. Your body stays either left of or on (after pulling the point) the arete for the duration of the climb.

Location

A continuation of the farthest left side of First Wall. This route is on the arete on the rock face that is trail opposite Moby's Mantle.

Protection

Pads and a spotter. The landing could be bad if not properly protected. It also may be worth scouting out the top so you know the foliage you are getting yourself into.
