Description
Sit start with both hands on the arete. Make a hard first move up to a 3 finger edge found on the arete. (This is the same first move as Growler.) Once here figure out how to mantle onto the slab and reach out for a small gaston on the face, figure out how to move the left hand then make a few more long reaches on slopey dishes and crimps before making a final desperate huck for the lip or a rail just shy of it!
A superb climb that takes a lot of balance technique and power!
Location
This line is found on the right side of the steep overhang and climbs up and slightly leftwards on sloping dishes and small crimps.
Protection
4 pads, maybe more. It is a bit exposed!
