Yet another classic begins with a shallow arete, before joining the final moves of Churning in the Wake. But the fun isn't over - instead of clipping the anchors, traverse right and finish up a higher arete that thwarts many a redpoint burn.

Truly an incredible route. A treat to do this one with Sean. v4 intro climbing leads you to the first crux boulder around the 4th draw. Some tricky v5/6 pocketing gets you to a jug rest. Second long v6 compression boulder leads you to the churning anchor where you can try and get it back. A little v5 traverse on the arete gets you to the final rest before venturing into the techy, arete, run out v5/6 guarding the chains. A few punts on this one..

excellent route with stout boulder problems, good rests and a classic arete - the full Smith package.
