Description
Stick clip recommended for the first bolt. Then climb up to the stance below the first bolt before clipping the second bolt and making a cruxy traverse to the right gaining the arete proper. The crux continues for a few moves up the arete. At the 3rd bolt the climbing mellows a little but stays interesting right to the anchor. I thought it was a hard 5.8 but a few people have suggested 5.9 so vote if you climb it so we can come to a consensus.
Location
From the base of the main slab make your way carefully down to the base of the short slab on the right side. This is the right most line which climbs along the arete.
Protection
5 bolts to anchor
