Upper West
Description
[NOTE: I'm sure this traverse has been done 100 times already, but it seemed like worth noting. If this has another name or if anyone knows the first ascensionist, I'm happy to update it!]Begin with a stand start at the arete using obvious good holds (there are a few options, none of which really change the experience). Traverse left following the best, most obvious jugs along the main seam. Continue ascending gradually, avoiding topping out until the far left side of the boulder, up the finish of Phat Lip. Nothing classic, but decent movement and a solid warmup for the harder problems.
Location
Right to left traverse beginning on the main arete and ending up the finish of Phat Lip.
Protection
A spotter with a pad would be wise for those not 100% solid at V0/V1. A fall from up high could land you on the retaining wall in a few spots.
