Description

Iron Pony is decent climbing up the arete left of the

Pony Express

dihedral.

Take p1 of

Pony Express

until it enters the dihedral then hand traverse left for 10 feet on big lichen-covered flakes. Stand up on these flakes, clip a bolt, and step up onto the face and arete. Continue up past 5 more bolts.

You spend a lot of time on the right side of the arete, and the location of the bolts (on the left side) can make for tough clips. Sustained and difficult, perhaps a sandbag at 11d.

Protection

Some finger-size cams and wires. 6 bolts.
