Pants Off Dance Off Arete - Right

FA Seaton/Sprague
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

The right hand version of the arete. It climbs completely different than the left and is a little more committing and difficult. Right side of the arete, start with the right hand in a quartz pocket, left in a little seam. Slap and pinch your way up the arete and use a couple edges on the face up high keeping you body on the right side of the arete. Slightly contrived in that there is a point in the middle where you could go around the arete to the easier left hand version, but it climbs naturally. A couple crouch/sit start variations can be done to increase the difficulty, but they are sort of awkward and grunty.

Location

the southern corner

Protection

A couple pads, one for the landing and another for the stonewall behind in case you bounce. A spot off the tree if you have one
