Rockfax Description
The blunt arete has a height-dependent start (at least 6a for shorties) and no runners before the break (which takes a very big cam). The short upper arete is much easier, plus it has runners and great positions. © Rockfax

βeta: I couldn't find any gear in the break after the long reach and had to jump off. I was ok though thanks to a belayer catching me and hitting a lucky landing spot with my feet.
