Unknown climber on the arete. This climber stayed here for what seemed like forever, climbing up and down, trying to get in gear, before downclimbing all the way to the Red Ledge. Perhaps he traversed right too low?

Heading up pitch 2 of Icarus, climbers on Rewritten can be seen in the crack on the far side wall.
