Description

Left of Travis is Sole King is a newly bolted line that follows a nice arete up a narrow pillar. Knapp and company's guide says this route can be climbed two ways: 1. By using the arete the entire way or 2. By avoiding it all together and climbing only the face. However the easiest line seemed to wander left and right moving the climber to and from the arete to the top of the pillar. Climb it and decide for yourself... .
