The Rapier

FA Justin Jaeger
CREATED 
UPDATED 

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.
