Description
Arachne is a serious lead of an old toprope named Five Hundred Rednecks with Guns first climbed by Patrick Purcell in the 80s. A lead ascent requires climbing in and out of ground fall. However, the majority of the available gear is good. Boulder up a series of left-rising, right facing edges to a good hold (crux). Gear is available in a pod in the seam to your left at approximately 25 feet up. Place a couple small cams at your feet and a sideways stopper a bit higher. Continue up and left to a shallow right facing corner, and exit through a funky V-notch. Belay from trees.Video of the FFA
