Description
Fantastic climb going up the right blunt arete of the boulder working through some fun movement into an easy sloped topout.Link showing the FA with the full traverse (Thanks Dana) youtu.be/AUEgrvo7Jbk?t=23
Location
Most ascents now use various direct starts (grade doesn't really change much for either), but the official FA started on the left side of the face, standing at the right facing corner made by the overhanging bulge and traverses the wall along the juggy horizontals to the right until you get to the blunt arete. Make use of the flakes on each side of the arete to gain a high sidepull with your right and topout directly above with a cool mantle. The full traverse start maybe adds a half a grade for additional pump. Another variation "Group Hug" starts the traverse using the lower horizontal.
