Buckhorn Arete

SDS with a high right pinch on the arête and a low left hand sidepull crimp on the face. Make a big move to the jug ledge above, and top out. Some other easy warm-ups also exist on this boulder.

Do not follow the directions listed on the main page, instead, hike to and up the Buckhorn Cutoff Trail. When the Buckhorn trail first crosses over some boulders, go off trail and uphill about 5 minutes to locate this little block (if my memory is correct). The arete is on the uphill side (NW corner). The east slab is easy. You can also climb the face right of the arete from a crouched stand start using the arete and face holds (Spike Slab V2).
