Heroes Become Weak

This is a very cool arete and warm-up for this area. I think the grade will continue to go down as it gets climbed and brushed. You start on an obvious foot ledge, and work your way up with the right hand or both hands pulling lichenous slopers on the arete. Be careful on the crumbly topout, there are some breakable crimps, and the most licheny of the slopers.

If you head about 100 feet up the trail to Walt's Wall from the

Gill Seam

, you will see this arete on your left. The right side of the boulder has a tantalizing slab, and the arete is on the left.

It is nice to have 2 pads as the landing has some bushes and boulders in it.
