First ascent.

A forgotten jewel hiding in plain sight at Smith's premiere crag. This arete will serve to be a true test piece in the style, with quality among the other classics in the park. I'm quite happy and proud to complete Alan's original vision of the backbone start from nearly 40 years ago. It was a truly last day last go effort, which is fitting because this beast is not easily tamed. Get after it! [1]
