Star Chaser Arête

FA Aaron James Parlier

Description

As you walk up to the WCB off of the trail, the "Star Chaser Arête" (SCA) will be the closest, downhill, trail facing, tall arête.

Sit start on the large, long ledge rail on the vertical face to the left of the arête. Pick up off of the rail and gain the arête. Make a challenging move to advance above the start, and follow the arête's spine further (staying along the vertical face with nice holds as well), to reach the top portion of the WCB.

You will negotiate to gain the minuscule crimp at the top for a right hand. establish your feet however you see fit (limited options) and make a committing, off the deck lunge/dyno to the surprisingly positive gaston jug.

Clutch the jug for all its worth, limit any swing, and move left to the glory feature for a confident but lofty top out.
