Arete of Fret

FA NA, long time ago
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

A good beginner route to feel exposed on an arete.  This is left of the Open Book area.

Pass the roof on the left, then have fun stepping out onto the arete!  Good foot and handholds on the arete.  Follow the arete to the top.  Horizontals provide good, positive protection, but not a recommended first lead only due to trying to protect the first step out right onto the arete above the roof.

No bolts at the top.  Build your own anchor, or walk a long ways back to a tree.

Location

To the left of "Open Face" and "Open Book" escarpment.  Start under the roof.

Protection

Single set of cams and nuts should suffice, though I used tricams several times.

A set of bolts at the top of this route could serve all three routes in this area pretty well.
