Description
So now you have another reason to come to the back side of The Pharaoh. This route is a lot of fun and gets in your face right off the ground. Without the proper set up getting from bolt 2 to 3 is likely to feel very hard, but once you find the trick it's much easier.
Pick your way through the low quartz bands using equal parts balance and power avoiding the grungy crack on the left. You will then find yourself at a nice rest with the second half the route looming above. The legitimate arete climbing is a total hoot.
