Description
Follow the Northwest (i.e. left-hand) arete up to the top. The route is not tricky, but keeping your head together for this moderate high ball is.
Start at the bomber sloper just around the corner for a satisfying lie-back. Stay on main face, or pass over the arete and climb the north face.
Climb down on back of boulder is a bit easier, especially if you follow the arete on the Southeast side, which has great hands.
