Description Suggest change

Follow an arete up and over a roof (crux one) to a pin and optional ball-nut placement. Move left to the arete (crux two) and continue climbing one of the best aretes in maryland.

Use the anchors; topping out this route puts you right at the overlook. Keeping a low profile can only help access.

Location Suggest change

Starting at the bottom of the Pyuk Butress, climb a small, bad corner or scramble around to the base of the arete, where the good rock starts.

It's best to appoach by going by the pillar and scrambling across a narrow traverse ledge to the base of the bad corner. Scramble around some more if you want to skip to the good climbing.

Protection Suggest change

A light rack favoring gear under one inch and draws to clip the four bolts, pin, and anchors.
