Crescent Arete

Description 

Considered by many to be the epitome of gritstone, this bold, aesthetic arete strikes fear and inspiration into the hearts of climbers. Gracefully layback the curving arete on its left side, each move more difficult than the one before, until a small notch is gained. Breathe a sigh of relief and top out.

Location 

Directly below Wall End Slab, well to the north of the Plantation trees and near the Grand Hotel.

Protection 

Many pads or, much better, do it onsight solo. It's not that hard...
