Warpath Arete (Name?)

FA ???
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

This route was tricky to follow. The first pitch runs up the arete, to the left of Warpath, but probably takes the right side of the arete. I went up the left side of the arete and the footing was first ascent bad (lichen, loose rock, etc). It couldn't have been harder than 5.9, but the only protection was a couple of chickenheads, bad ones, for 100 feet. That pitch gives the R rating, maybe X. The second pitch was better, good protection, and the whole route gets better from there. Interesting finishing pitch. In summary, the route was adventurous and sketchy, would not recommend to a friend. Also, do not forget your rope and use your tag line. Do not do that... . Also, climb sober.

Location

Obvious arete on the left side of the Warpath dome, which flows right into an obvious crack (2nd pitch) that continues into a pretty straightforward finish.

Protection

Standard rack up to #3, a few slings, and some cahones. Can't place much gear than a couple of chicken heads in the first 100'.
