Cloaked Interpretation

While just a linkup, this route climbs the best terrain on

Cloak and Dagger

and

Mig's Arete

, giving sustained fun climbing.

Climb the first four pitches of

Cloak and Dagger

, and belay on the right side of the large ledge at the top of the second 5.10 pitch.

Climb up and right for 70 feet or so to an obvious ledge that extends to the arete. Move right on this ledge, and belay below a thin crack through an overlap that is about 10 feet from the arete, 5.6 or so.

Fire through the overlap, and continue up the thin crack for about 30 feet until it is possible to step right into a dihedral on the arete. Loosely follow this dihedral until it ends at a slightly ledgy section. Locate some incipient seams just left of the arete, arrange some protection, and fire up them until a ledge system leads right around the arete to the base of the flare on

Mig's Arete

, 100 feet, 5.10+ PG-13.

Now just follow the last fantastic pitch (or two) of

Mig's Arete

to the top.

Standard Black Canyon rack.
