Description Suggest change

Clean your shoes and lace them up tight. Climb the beautiful multicolored face on slopey bumps and scoops. A balancy crux lunge finishes the initial sculpted face. Afterward, stay to the left on hard to see features, climbing the left side of the arete. Don't get sucked right into The Acquaintance. Typical dacite micro features on the arete lead to good TOP OUT holds. Enjoy the great exposure while standing on top.

Location Suggest change

Scramble/solo 75 feet up left of grotto to the ledge at the base of the upper wall, or use fixed line off to the left.

Protection Suggest change

bolts to anchor.
