Left Side, Strong Side
Description
SDS low, matched on the lowest chalked opposing sidepulls on the SW arete. Punch straight up the West face without using any of the handholds on, or right of the arete (the big hidden slot and slopers to the right are off). Find a way to get to the medium/small pebble with your right hand, and then go straight left into a slot and increasingly positive pockets. Finish straight up off the pockets, up the left-center side of the West face, with a bigger move to gain the lip.
Location
It is a short walk below
Distant Dancer
(down and to the right of tree slab), to the southwest, just off the trail. This is to the left of the "Arete," V5, and "Farming," V4, problems as listed by Benningfield.
Protection
If you blow the first few moves, you will have a weird, short fall. A single pad or 2 would help the falling prone climber.
