UKC

A great line that should be reserved for a great lead. Balance up the bold arete to a good hold, then move up and left to the thin crack of Death is the Hunter. Fill this with small wires, step back down, then move up and right to the arete. The bold and committing climbing above (crux) is best finished direct.

D. Cuthbertson 1982.

βeta: Cam at bottom slab problem, 4 micros as described, then cam on promontory face after crux moves (which fell out with updrag, but the heat was on). Worthy mention to belayer who had a heart attack and is now in therapy. Great climb, had practiced on top rope previous, the feet… bring edged downturns.
