Brinton’s Arete Left V3/V6 sit

FA EZ? See below -- possibly Anna Boatman on the low sit.

Description

For the sit, start on the left side of the arete, with a low downpulling crimp for the left hand and a gaston for the right.  Climb the left side of the arete.  A sustained and pretty darn good problem with a quite a good landing.

For the stand, just stand.  It’s a sweet problem.

From a previous description by Peter Erard in 2007 : "The crux would be the second move from a standing start. What's bad about it? The hands, barely any handholds. When there are handholds, they're non-existent. Semi-sharp edges leading into a slopy two-finger edge. From there, finish on top with a solid bomber hold."

Location

Just below the classic route, Brinton’s Crack.  

Protection

A couple pads, maybe a spot. There is a mantle finish.
