Description Suggest change

One of the finest sport routes in all of the Red, and for that matter, anywhere. That is the reason for my choice for it to be the first one I went back for upon 'homecoming' in Y2K. The name is a great coincidence.

Climb unprotected (or plug a 4" cam) for about 25 feet to the first of a few bolts on the face then move out left onto a steep arete. Climb past perhaps 10 bolts to the anchors on smaller holds than are common in the red, using the arete frequently for hands and heels.

Location Suggest change

At the far left end of Emerald City, this steep and tall arete beckons- climb it! This is the last bolted route to the left on this crag.

Protection Suggest change

Nine bolts, plus the anchors.
