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!

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.
