Wise Up

Description

Sit start, and hold the two gorgeous jugs low on the

South Arête

; throw your left hand out to a hold that offers a sharp crimp and a sidepull. Pick one. Adjust your feet; move your right hand up to a 45 degree crimp just under the horn at the top of the

South Arête

. Move your left hand to a beautiful, full pad crimp in the middle of the face, adjust your feet, and then throw for a perfect mono pocket with your left hand before topping out.

This route intentionally avoids the arete above the starting holds as well as the juggy ledge that runs across the top.

Location

Looking at Arch Boulder from the West side, start low on the right side. This will be the

South Arete

. Climb the West face of Arch Boulder to the right of the crack.

Protection

A pad.
