Description 

Climb the arete using some face holds on the roadside face of the K-Town boulder. A super softy at V8 but classic nonetheless.


Location 

The obvious arete on the K-Town boulder.

Super cool problem. There's a bit of leavitation involved in the topout, I think.

If you can't do it, it feels like V8. If you can do it it feels like V5. I started on the right (downriver) side of the boulder and traversed low and left across the face to the Feels Like Grit start and then climbed it. It is a fun variation to do if you get bored and enjoy playing on slab.

Feels V5 or easier.

I'm interested to hear other people's beta for this line as I've done it several different ways and I think finding the specific beta that works best for you will contribute to whether it feels v5 or v8...I also feel that height is a bit of a factor on this climb in terms of reaching the slot on the face from the better feet. Any thoughts?

I did it without the arete using a sidepull out right. Stood up on a good left foot and grabbed a slot right before the topout with my left hand I believe. Felt pretty hard, but easier than climbing the arete. Kind of hard to call it the same climb though...
