Description Suggest change

This route follows a rounded arete down and right of Black Rain. A fun route that goes free at 5.12a/b, or can be done with one point of aid at 5.10a A0.

Follow the approach described in Black Rain. Go 40' up the ramp right of Black Rain, then climb down to a small exposed ledge with a 2-bolt anchor. Belay from here. Climb up past three bolts to a small roof (10a). Angle up right and clip the fourth bolt over the roof. Make a difficult move (12a/b) or yard on the quickdraw (A0) and step left to surmount the roof. Continue up the blunt arete past six more bolts to a good ledge with a two-bolt anchor. Belay from here. The climbing route is 120' long.

Rappel 105' with two ropes or one 70m rope back to the ramp above the start. It may be possible to rappel with one 60m rope but you will be at the very ends of the rope.

Two stars for good rock, fun moves, and a wild move over the roof.
