Rebuffat's Arete

FA Joe O'Laughlin, Steve Turner, 1968
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

This is most popularly done as a variation to the fifth pitch of

Rewritten

. From the dead tree belay of Rewritten, avoid the chossy gully and head straight out right on to the edge of the arete. There is more protection than would first appear. Have fun peeking over the edge and head right up to the top. Then carefully downclimb 5-10 feet to the notch. It is 80'.

It can also be done from lower on Rewritten, right after the hand traverse and finger crack on pitch 4. Instead of moving left, head straight up the arete. It is 190', PG-13.

It can also be accessed from

Tower Corner Exit

. Reach the arete by moving left up a ramp system, then follow to the top as above. It is 130'.

Protection

Standard Eldorado rack.
