Description

Traverse up and left for about 25 ft toward the arete. Just before the arete, get some good gear in a horizontal. Continue up the arete for a few moves until you can find some good holds on the left side of the arete. Continue up the left side of the arete over a white slab. You can stop at the anchors of Stim O Stam, or continue up the left side of the arete to the top. At the point where you pass the anchors of Stim 0 Stam, there is very little gear and the finish is pretty much the same as Flyin' Hawaiian. This is a spectacular climb and would be much more popular if there was more gear. The gear is sufficient, but sometimes pretty far apart. If you stop at the anchors on Stim O Stam, it's much less scary and in my opinion you get the best part of the climb!

Location

Start is the same as for Stim O Stam or Freaky Stylee. You can add a few fun moves by doing the bouldery start at the low overhang immediately below Stim O Stam.

Protection

Mostly small cams, all less than 2".
