Description This has clean, solid, arete climbing, much better than this roadside crag might suggest. Follow the rules, crimps abound on both sides of the arete.
Location This is the left of two bolted routes.
Protection Eight draws and something for the double bolt anchor at the top.

| Beta note: we ran this on 10/7/2012, seemed to be nearer the 5.11+ range than middle. Using the dihedral can shave a bit off the difficulties, and it may be hard to avoid the dihedral altogether. Climbing felt thin and sharp, a bit like J-Tree. I thought it was pretty cool, two stars for sure. |
