Loved this climb! Don’t be fooled, this thing is nails if your wingspan is 5’10 and under. Lots of 10s in the canyon are way easier than this. Also, definitely staying right of the arete is legit. After the v10 section you have some hard v5 moves, then do an airy mantel on a microwave bloc, then it’s like LCC 5.7 to the top. Very good climb! Extreme caution and rope rehearsal recommended

the first left hand grip is dope. Push your thumb in to the roof for maximum control over it. Cool cobble/crystal feet. The arete is pretty dirty but easy (5.9). This rig comes down to one hard move that is probably v8 or v9. The first move and the end don't add anything. (possible 3rd ascent)
