Interesting - Unlike this leader who went left low on the arete, I took a line that followed the chalked holds to the right in this picture and then did a slightly scary ~10 foot traverse over to where the climber is. Anyone who might have done it both ways have a favorite or comment on how the lines differ?

I did it the way you describe, Matt. This is definitely NOT the best way, much better to traverse low, although it looks more improbable at first.
