Silent Mind

Rather than traversing in from the left like its neighbor Aha!, Silent Mind gains the arete via a direct line of attack. Clip a bolt about seven feet above the water, gain a cobbled undercling, power through some fun pockets, then charge past the last bolt for an exciting crux right below the shuts. Finish on a jug just past the shuts.

Shares the same anchor as Aha! but starts direct. The belay is a bit precarious over the water.

6 or 7 bolts. Shuts (new as of November, 2007).
