<< Curving Crack < Shrike  |  Octo > Pinnacle Arete >>

The amazing arete gives a magnificent long pitch for which the word 'exposed' is nowhere near descriptive enough. Photo on page 57.
6a, 35m. Climb right of the corner and make a hard pull over a small roof. Swing leftwards to a flake, then climb up to the arete above. This leads fairly directly all the way top the top. Sensational!
