Description

Highball arete with a boulder in half of the fall zone. You can't easily get to this problem from the Y-Crack. It's easiest to go further down the trail and cut in behind the boulder.

"Fish Arete TR *5.11+," in the 1990 and 1995 Craig Fry guides. Problem 22 in the March guide, "(V3) Toprope." Seems like most people boulder this one now. But roping up is recommended!

From the 2005 5 Star book, "Climb the sharp, featured arête to the left of the Y-crack. A highball problem with a bad landing."
