Description:

Walk all the way to the area where the dam actually is. Just as you enter the area where the water is (used to be?) walk off to the left following the trail, a bit to the right. The crackline is on the left side. Looks as if the arete might be climbable; unfortunately it's completely blank. Lieback the grainy crack to a grainy, slopey top-out. I managed to clean most of the top off though as well as the face so you can smear or use the two obvious (yet surprisingly bad) feet. I'm rating it kinda high for safety but it's probably more like a V0, maybe V0+
