General Patton's Arete

FA Troob
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

Start up the left angling arete on the nice right edge. After you're halfway there, you can reach around the corner and finish up on the the low angle face or continue working up the arete proper, gaining the obvious finishing horn and topping out.

The down climb on the opposite, back corner of the boulder might be a little scary for some. It's down low angle face with crimps and left hand side pulls galore. I figure I'd mention it for anyone who may be nervous.

If I screwed up the route name, let me know and I'll update it. New England Bouldering calls this V3.

Location

Follow the hiking path just north of Nemesis. Scramble up some rocks, passing the ledge where Around the Outside and Upstairs Downstairs is. Just above those two climbs is the large boulder this route lives on. Walk around to the back until you see the beautiful, obvious arete.

Protection

A pad would be enough, but two would be nicer. Attentive spotter to keep the climber from landing on the sloping rock behind.
