The Rapier
Description
Begin seated on the pedestal in the middle of the small overhang, sharing the the same annoyingly low starting edges with
Zorro
. Move up into the thin matched crimps immediately above, make a powerful stab out right for the slopey arete, establish and finish with the
Zorro Arete
.
Location
The Rapier is located on the same boulder as
The Ladder
, about 10 yards to the right, where the trademark "Z" appears to have been slashed into the rock by the legendary bandit. This problem links the start of
Zorro
into the finish of
Zorro Arete
and is something to do when in the area and you've done all the 4-star moderates.
Protection
An Organic pad to even out the top of the pedestal you start on and EITHER a few pads or maybe a spotter to keep you from tumbling down into a hole if you blow it.
