Those Who Seek | From a sit start at the base of the arete climb the open groove to a triangular sloper. Span out and traverse lip holds to gain the hanging groove out right, follow this to easy ground. Alternatively finishing left from the top of the initial groove is part of the route 100 Not Out and about 6a+ with the sit start. | Edit | Delete |
