no avail gear atop the arete summit where Sunset Strip, Good Friday, and Rodeo Drive all finish. would need to downclimb its backside to place gear on the lower backside terrace (hence the mentioned 30 ft or so long extension), plus an optional marginal small placement near the top of summit backside Dec 15, 2019
