ha, I did the first ascent of that. I went over the triangular overhang and climbed the arete more direct. With hands in the second break I had to really hoist my feet over the bulge. It made it a really hard lock-off, but my crotch of my trousers hooked over spicules on the arete itself and actually took some of the weight as I made the move. I remember thinking a fall would have cut my balls off.

Also, Chris, I hate to ask... but did you go direct over the lower bulge too?
