Description 

This is a direct free start to the Double Exposure Arete. There are only two bolts before joining Double Exposure at the point where it comes onto the arete at the knobs, making this a serious lead for the grade.

Start just down and right of the regular Double Exposure start. Hard moves (12a) lead around the corner to a second bolt. Pass the second bolt and continue on runout climbing until the Regular route is joined. Follow the regular route to the top.

Location 

Extreme left edge of the Buttress of Cracks.

Protection 

Bolts and gear up to 1".
