Description

This has got to be one of the nicest crimp lines in the area....low start with a horizontal slimper rail on the right side of the obtuse arete. Move more or less straight up the arete, using funky/small/slopey holds to gain the jug above (crux)...then make some fun moves on slimpy edges to reach the shelf. Mantel the shelf, pulling gently (!) on any crimps you might find above it, then enjoy some chossy 5.easy to the top. Go ahead and give yourself a couple extra V points if you're on the shorter side, as setting up for the big move to the jug is likely waaaay harder for you.

There is also an alternate, easier start that traverses in from the right on good crimps (there's a rose move if you're into that sort of thing), which deposits you right at the jug.

I believe I watched the FA, but who knows? lemme know if I'm wrong and I will correct.

Location

The obtuse arete that faces directly east. left of a fun wide crack.
