Description
From the base of Shute-Mills, continue down around the corner to the obvious arete with six bolts. This well protected climb is probably 5.7 if you happen to find the best holds at the crux, just after the first bolt (stay left), but be prepared for it to feel more like 5.8, which I think is a more accurate rating. Stepping off the pillar to clip the fifth bolt is a bit spooky; a fall would really hurt, but it's an easy move. The upper headwall has perfect cracks for gear, I'm not sure why two bolts were placed--must have been to guide sport climbers to the top.
