Red Obelisk Arete

Work up the lower-angled starting portion of the arete using a thin seam to gain the left side of a sloping ledge and the first bolt then glide up the steep arete above using a combination of balance and power. It eases off midway but the bolt spacing is a little further towards the top.

Originally done as a top-rope problem that was later bolted by visiting climbers.

This is the northwest arete of the formation, just left of

The Red Obelisk (aka Boogers on a Lampshade)

.

3 bolts, anchors (all 3/8")
