New Beginnings

Description

Climb the long Arete from bottom to top. Cruxes are mid-way and at the top. About half-way, layback then stem into a corner before traversing a couple feet right and mounting the arete then mantling your way onto the ledge.  Shortly after on a foot ledge, do a short dyno up left onto a bomber ledge, get a great left heel hook, then mantle your way up. A cruxy and balancy corner gets you to the top.

This was climbed on a single strand rope self-belayed with a gri-gri. You should validate whether a 70m rope will work because the climb is quite tall.

Location

Look for the subtle arete that leads to a more prominent arete. Large tree 1/3 of the way up the climb. 

Protection

2 small natural tree anchors that are about 2 feet apart provide great top rope anchor.
