Ascent Notes for: Moon Goddess Arete (IV) 5.8* - 5.8 Average Rating : 4.56/5

fun and worth doing. Was it a bit loose? sure, but that can be fun sometimes, too!

Getting up ibrium tower I climbed the far left side of it... whoops. 5.8 roof to a loooooose flake (5.8?) into a really awesome fingercrack in a dihedral. Fingercrack was probably hard 9, maybe 10a.... feet were kitty littering all over so that might have added to it. After finishing traversed back left and was ~20 feet h igher than was supposed to be on 3rd which meant some exciting 5th downclimbing to regain it.

A better idea would be to take my variation (5.9+ with 5.8R sections) to the splitter headwall, thus avoiding all the traversing and the silly pitches regaining it :))

This was great!
Car to car in 17 hours. Route was a bit loose and not sustained but has amazing exposure and great climbing! Can't wait to do sun ribbon

Awesome route - not as much ridge walking as on the other ones.

Simuled up to the traverse around the first tower. The rest is very fun. Linked a few pitches higher up. 5h to the summit.

We had to bail off into the escape gulley around pitch 8 and climbed 4th/5th class to the top because of a late start. Supertopo calls this way 5.7. Although I'll be back someday for the full arete. Calling it a ascent nonetheless.

good times. didn't summit b/c we'd done VBA 2 days prior.

Goddamit I took a whipper onto a #1 C4 for no good reason on the pitch around the Ibrium Tower...does that make it a Hang Dog? I guess so...

Super fun

Long Day, you need to move fast.
