Description

Striking arete feature with the technical crux well protected by a bolt. After pulling past the third bolt, prepare for a massive runout on relatively easy slab moves. Eventually move up and right away from the arete to the fourth and final bolt.

There is a 5.8ish mantle move just below the fourth bolt that, if you blew.....Well, you can imagine what would happen.

After clipping the last bolt, pull another crux to get past the bulge and engage runout slabby moves with occasional gear.

Belay from a two bolt anchor at the top of the cliff (this was installed recently as the belay tree died), or setup a gear belay on the cushy ledge and enjoy the spectacular view

Location

The route starts in the dirty vegetated corner at the far left side of Lakeview, but quickly transitions right to the arete at a piton.

Protection

piton, 4 bolts, a few gear placements.
