Description Suggest change

Honeycomb Arete - 5.7 *** (85-165') M(3-8b)

Climbs the short lower "arete" and shallow corners at the left edge of the rusty tan lower middle face to the mid point rap anchors, or set of chains at the top. Can be done as one long pitch or just the excellent bottom half. This is also a good descent route for the face.

P1 - 5.7 *** (85') M(3b) - This is a fantastic mostly trad pitch on great rock, with a high bolt protected crux. Begin at the lowest point of the arete on the left edge of the rusty tan face. A wide range of cams and nuts are needed. 2 chain anchors are at the mid-level belay station (with an extra belay anchor beside them).

P2 - 5.3 * (85') M(5b) From the large ledge with the rap anchors continue to the top up the upper slab which is easy but worth doing for the classic mantle move, and as an easy way to the top of the face in one pitch. 2 chain anchors and an extra bolt are at the top lip.

Location Suggest change

Begin at the left end of the lower rusty tan face and climb directly up, angling left a bit to the slabby upper face.

Protection Suggest change

Mixed, a wide range of cams (.2 to #3) and nuts are needed throughout.
