Description

Wonderful route, super-aesthetic both in rock quality and position on the exposed arete. Very stout climbing for the grade and easy to blow the onsight if you get antsy.

Location

Prominent bolted face/arete above Ye Gods and Candy Corner belay. Climb either of those routes and either belay from the two bolt belay on the ledge or climb up the gully a bit further to establish a trad anchor below the line of bolts up the face/arete which is Spinnaker. Stepping out from the gully make a few committing moves up and right to clip the first bolt on the face.

Protection

Depending on where you belay from may want few pieces (.75-2 Camalot) to protect the climbing up to the first bolt. 8ish bolts to shuts. Can rap back to Ye Gods bolted belay with a single 60m rope.
