South East Arete

FA unknown
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

Start sitting with your hands in the low horizontal on the right side of the rounded arete (left heel hook helpful), power up to juggy holds on small ledge, continue up the arete and right face to top-out on pebbly holds.

The start and top-out provide the majority of the difficulty, but there is still plenty of climbing on this problem if they are eliminated. For an even more beginner friendly variation, start standing with hands on the good ledge 4 feet up and continue until hands are on the top of the boulder.

Location

The southeastern corner of the boulder where the East Trapps Connector Trail meets it.

South East corner of the Lower Wawarsing Boulder: 1. South East Arete (V0+), 2. South East Face (V0), 3. Girdle Traverse (V1)

Protection

Pad. The top-out can be a little tricky it's best to do a little bit of house cleaning before you get up there.
