Start a little right of the toe of the arete. Low angle climbing protected with gear 1"-2"in holes leads to first bolt about 20 ft up on a flat shelf like area. From here follow three more bolts to the top. Third bolt (at the crux) is to the right and hard to see. There is a lot of hollow rock and lichen at the crux. Be very selective.
