Variance

Variance climbs the left arete on the steep face of The Outlier Boulder. Because it actually has holds, albeit small ones, Variance doesn't climb like many of the aretes in the area. Start with a left hand sidepull and stand up on a pretty good left foot. Work your way up the arete by using small crimpers for your hands and hard foot movements. The difficulty eases when you get both feet on the less-steep face.
