Description NBD is down the hill from Contortionist's Forte and about 5 or 6 routes down the hill on the west-facing arete. Steep and sometimes slick rock adds in to the fun of this good-holded, endurance route. Crux at the 4th bolt while turning the arete.
Protection 7 draws. Tough to TR cause the anchor is on other side of arete. Bring long slings to TR.

| I found the climbing on this route to be really awkward, and the holds slippery. I didn't really enjoy it. |

| I'd definitely recommend this route. It has some pumpy steep climbing on good smooth stone, to a cruxy move around the corner, to some techy slab moves on pebbles. A bit of everything, what more could you ask for? |

| I love this route. Even when I climb a number grade harder than this, it'll spit me off if I don't pay attention to what I'm doing. It's possible to use friction holds around the right at both the 2nd and 3rd bolts, but I think the direct route up the face is harder, more sustained, more technical and more fun. If you are capable, go straight up until right at the 4th. |
