Description
This is the line of bolts on the arete crowded in between the Buttress Climb and Z Elephant Boy. The route seems contrived and way too close to the Buttress Climb which overlaps for the first few bolts. It is either a contrived variation or a contrived attempt to establish a hard route right on the arete even as the easier holds just left make you trend that way. Bolt 1 is in an awkward position, and a stickclip is recommended. I'm not sure which anchors - Buttress Climb or Z Elephant Boy were intended as the finish. Both are runout, and both incur rope drag for belaying the second. Speaking of the second, this line puts your second in a crappy situation if they fall.
