Quarryman’s Arete

Quarryman’s Arete is a great alpine-trainer!

From the talus field, climb the obvious ridge. Stay on the ridge, favoring the right side for better climbing.

Currently, there are two very precarious blocks near the top of the climb. They add to the alpine feel but should be avoided.

See the ridge from the approach trail. After crossing the talus field, start the climb from the left of the little tree.

A small rack. Protect for the second! Watch your rope on the loose blocks. Build an anchor in the choss or with trees. Rap with a single rope from the trees, or scramble off the back.
