Nick reaches the good break on The Archangel.


Description 

This striking arete is both bold and beautiful.

Starting on the left side of the arete step up and instantly feel the exposure as you look down the right hand side. Now repeat the same move for 35 feet until a final difficult move gains the break at halfway.

With the break and protection reached, place gear and enjoy the remainder of a true gritstone classic.

Protection 

Trad Gear, although the protection starts after all the diffidulties have been climbed.
