Description

To the right of the

Chockstone Arete

is a line that takes off in chocolate colored stone with a tricky sequence leaning out to the left. The good holds are largely hidden from view, so it is best to keep moving until a good hold comes up - which it usually does. Cut back right above the chocolate stone to a V-trough and a committing sequence that is probably the technical crux. The pump factor ratchets up as you near the anchor, and the climbing feels a bit more committing. The cold shut anchors are several feet right of the top of the arete at a good stance that is not visible from below.

This has interesting climbing throughout on excellent stone.

Protection

Eight to ten quickdraws and a rope.
