Fish & Whistle

Fish & Whistle climbs the dramatic arete to the left of

East of Eden

. There is some history to this route (see comments below), but on closer inspection it is unclear if the route was ever bolted and chopped.

As it stands now, it is a fully bolt protected line and is one of the best of the grade in the Poudre. The crux comes at the 2nd bolt and continues up the arete with continuous climbing in the 5.10 range. There are some gently committing moves between bolts, but all the bolts are well positioned to protect the harder climbing.

Per

Jim Graham

: "I did the FA onsight in 1985 and placed one bolt on lead, just before the crux."

Sadly, there was a fatality on this route in 2019.  Please exercise caution when clipping the 3rd bolt.

Climb the arete just left of

East of Eden

.

This is now fully bolt protected (11-12 bolts).
