Desparête

Climbs the obvious, orange, outrageous serrated, stepped arête in the middle of the cliff on incredibly solid orange streaked stone. A New England classic close in quality or on par with other New England classic arêtes such as of Edge of The World on Cathedral Ledge or Predator at Rumney. Start up the first section of Devils Cut then launch left onto the arête with bear hug and compression moves then continue up the arête . Its Desparête! Props to Mo Mo for cleaning this beast and Elliott on the send.Direct Start Variation (13c, 11 bolts): Go left to the arete at the 4th bolt. Work up the wide opposing edges before committing to the arete and linking up with the original line. Adds significant quality and difficulty to the original line.

Center of the cliff, just left of Devils Cut.
