Prima Vista Arete

FA unknown
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

Pitch 1: 5.7+ G 100'. Scamper up on top of the rock spur and climb the arete. Belay at a 2-bolt station among loose blocks.

Pitch 2: 5.7 PG 90'. Climb straight up small ledges directly on the arete. Protection is difficult to find, but eventually evident for an experienced leader. 2 bolts protect blank sections.

Pitch 3: 5.8 100'. Start directly on the arete. One bolt is ~15' up, on the north (right) face. Continue up the arete. Detached block on arete may be solid enough to climb on. I would not trust nuts or cams against it. Continue up

Variation
