Description

A near-classic warmup. Worth doing and not overly bolted; the pump factor can make it seem a number grade harder. Just stay on your feet and make the big reaches.

At the third bolt trend right. Directly above (or maybe slightly left of) the third bolt there is a newer bolt that makes a one-bolt linkup with Drop Zone. If you find yourself crossing the arete to the left you've gone the wrong way.
