Description 

This is a wildly thin and difficult climb that requires finesse, power, and endurance.

Figure out how to get onto the first ledge. Peer around the arete and get the first bolt clipped, don't blow it. Follow the bolt line up the right face using thin crimps and the occasional arete slap until you arrive below the first roof. Crux, begin moving up the overhang with very thin hands and marginal foot placements to a dynamic stab for the first decent hand. Make another big throw out to obvious jug ledge and surmount it. Continue up easier ground using both sides of the arete until you reach the bolts on the left side at a ledge.

Location 

Walk past the steep climbs until there is a break in the wall. The arete is the furthest most left climb on the right section of the wall. Look for bolts on the right face until a roof section, then the bolts continue up the left face. A 60m is enough to get down. As of 10/12, there were fixed carabiners to lower from.

Protection 

QD's for 9 bolts to a two bolt anchor.
