Dawn Mist

Description

Excellent, powerful climbing on good edges. The line faintly traces the arete but not everyone uses holds on the right side of the arete. Tall people can cheat way out left onto slabby rock. for a much easier and lower-quality finish. 

Location

Dawn mist is the obvious, usually chalky arete left of the walkdown. I've heard a number of beta for the start, but to me, the most obvious start is with the left hand on the lowest edge above the roof and the right hand on a pinch around the corner. I have also seen it started with the right hand on a smeary slopey crimp on the left face. Both felt similar in difficulty, with the pinch start possibly being a touch harder. 

Protection

2 pads are adequate without a spotter.
