Zoroaster Approach Beta Photo (see comments in route page for details)

Dawn on the approach

Original topo from the backcountry office 1982 NE Arete. This is the route prior to the massive rockfall that changed the route.

The climbers and the climb. Halfway down to the river from the South Rim.

Picked up at the Backcountry office in 1982 for climb of NE Arete.

Finished NE Arete this weekend (11.4.17), figured a picture with a route DWG could help people figure out the beta. There are more than 1 option for pitches P3 & P4, choose wisely and have fun!

The team after a long day... Nick, Isac, Luis and Pete

Zoroaster Capstone

This is what the first pitch looks like now. I'd guess its 30ft to the chains.

Luis, Nick and Zoro

At the commonly used bivy site there is a cool boulder with several fun, moderate problems. If you do choose to bivy there, don't miss sunset bouldering at this beautiful spot. Photo by Justin York.

This section is not here anymore. It has fallen down.

Pitch one

Last rays of sun on the Brahma Temple as I start the first rappel from the summit. A spectacular hanging rappel.
