Southwest Arete

This often photographed arete ascends one of the tallest boulders in the country, and is a classic buttermilking experience not to be missed.

Start on the face about 10 feet right of the arete, then trend left to the arete and up to an airy perch. Move right following the lip patina to a memorable rock-over with about 35 feet of air under you.

Now find your way down the backside (more or less North east).

Think about the name folks. On the Grandma Peabody.

There are top-rope anchors if you want. But, the access is a 45 foot 5.6 slab on the other side. Also the down-climb.
