Description 

Easy Arete is on the west side of the "All Thumbs Boulder". To reach this boulder, take the Secret Garden trail from the road, first passing The Copperhead Boulder on the right, then continuing slightly past. All Thumbs is recognizable by the overhanging jug haul "Direct North Face of Shothole" V0.

Start on the west arete, with a very small boulder just to the left. Pull through a smallish bulge to easy climbing above. Downclimb the opposite side of the boulder next to a tree.
