Description 

This shares the start of Continental Crust but continues straight up the arete. The arete may seem a bit exposed to some but it's almost impossible to climb above your protection on this one. A couple of "cruxy" moves in the middle spice up the route and as you may have guessed at least one is a mantle.


Location 

Southeast side of Competition Rock.


Protection 

18 bolts plus chain anchors

The mantle move onto the gigantic chicken head at the start of the route is super cool! Really nice route.

Great line, and like the (new) guidebook says, "more bolts than a small town hardware store". Super fun mantles, good position and some exposure.
