Description

"One sees clearly only with the heart. What is essential is invisible to the eye." -The Fox (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry)

The Little Prince is a nice line that climbs on an arete on the far right side of the Zebra Face. A line that looks improbable and almost impossible from the ground opens itself up with just enough face holds and tricky beta to make an exceptional "moderate". Potentially a harder onsight, be ready for small gear and some classic basalt face climbing. 5.11++?

Start on easy terrain to a thin crack and a stance. Bust a move and gain the horizonal seam. Traverse right and under the crux boulder section. Plunge through and to a stance under a small roof. Traverse right out onto the final headwall on the arete. Blocky holds to a topout.

Location

Right side of the Zebra Face, look for the unlikely seam next to an arete.
