Description
An amazing line.
Per the FA (Greg Haverstock), the line previously described as this problem is not what he did. Greg says he started sitting on the LEFT side of the arete and stayed entirely on the left side. Start with right hand on the arete and left hand on an undercling crimp.
The following (and the one seen in the video of this problem) is a variation of Blood Brothers that has the same finish but a different start:
Start as for Groove and Arete, then make tough moves left around the arete, finding a low crimp on the left face. Right hand goes to a meat hook hold high on the arete itself. Walk your feet up and slap way up and left for that distant sloper (crux). Now slab it up to the top!
