Description

An awesome mostly-bolted line up the striking arete! Gear is required for sections 5.10 and under, but the cruxes are all bolted face climbing. Awesome views of the river and Castle Valley.

Pitch 1: A bolted boulder problem up the rampy flare gains some rambly terrain. Hand traverse right at the 4th bolt to easy terrain up to a stance in the corner. 2 bolts for a belay. 5.11b

Pitch 2: Head up the hand crack corner for 20 feet and then bust hard left through a cryptic bolted slab traverse. 2 bolts for a belay at the sky ledge, comfy bench included! 5.12a

Pitch 3: Climb the left side of the arete through some moderate terrain with a few bouldery sections. 2 bolts at a slopey stance. 5.12b

Pitch 4: Climb the right side of the arete through sustained climbing with a distinct crux. 2 bolts at a nice stance below the lip. 5.12c

Rappels: Rap with a single 70m down the route into the corner of Summer Breeze. One mini rap required just before the ground, P1 is slightly longer than 35m.

Location

The knifeblade prow of the obvious pinnacle. Start at the bolted leaning flare just right of the pinnacle prow
