[Hide Comment] Between Karin’s Corner to the left and Erik’s Arete to the right I felt this route a bit contrived and hard to follow. Perhaps it’s easier for the grade as the 5.7 terrain blends into this route. Plenty of other routes to do here. Jun 14, 2023

[Hide Comment] Yes, kind of contrived, but the move out of Karin's Crack and into this one--or, more accurately, onto the face and traversing over into the crack--is fun. I inadvertently did these moves while onsighting Karin's, not having noticed the separate bolt for that line a little higher up and across. Good moves, but I don't think it's worth a separate attempt. Karin's Crack and Erik's Arete make for better climbing. Accidentally climbing both Magnificent 7 and Karin's Crack in one attempt, turned out to be an efficient and fun way to do them. Dec 25, 2023
