The climbers and the climb. Halfway down to the river from the South Rim.
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
This is what the first pitch looks like now. I'd guess its 30ft to the chains.

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.
