Start in the shade. Always important in Arizona. Shade. Easy wandering to the prow of the arete leads to a ring piton. Always good to begin an adventure by looking for a ring...

Laurel belays Geoff

Average Rating = 0.00/5 Laurel belays Geoff

End of the huge chimney seen from the approach. The infamous Spider Walk is next. Unless you do the sane variation by climbing the crack instead. In which case, take big gear or climb the wide with pride.

Jim Donini on pitch three

Average Rating = 4.00/5 Jim Donini on pitch three

This was fun and wide with bolts. Jim had a tough time with the next pitch due to rope drag. The next pitch starts right about 15' around the corner. Maybe move the anchor closer?

Brent went right; shoulda gone left. Even so, his variation finish is a great 10ish problem on steeper rock. We went left to easy ground after the crack. Good job.
