Rambo on the Blunt Arete.

Add Photo  Add Comment    Printer View

Description 

Start with your left hand on the arete and your right hand on a small crimp. Throw up a high left foot and slap the block and stand up to better holds and top out.

A sit start adds a few grades and a star in my opinion.


Location 

Located to the right of the downclimb and to the left of Block Pock


Protection

While the sit is clearly not as hard as either of the guidebooks suggests, it does (as cstorms noted) climb better. Probably more like v8 for the sit?
