Yet another arete here with fun and balancy moves on gritty rock which should clean up with more traffic.

This problem isn't listed in the Joshua Tree bouldering guide but is an obvious line with good moves on gritty rock and is worthy of inclusion to a circuit of the area.

Sit start down low at the base of the arete, make a move to a hueco out on the right face, then work your way up into the stand start with high feet and good body positioning. This adds about 5 or 6 moves to the stand.

This is the arete on the left side of the boulders, left of "Arete Boulders Crack".

This is the first problem encountered coming from the parking lot. It climbs the short overhanging arete on the right.

Located on the right boulder and a short distance left of the

Left Arete

(V0).

Starts from a high pinch and works up the arete/face with balancy moves and creative footwork.

Located on the left boulder just right of the

Left Arete

(V0+).

Expect balancy lieback moves and very little jamming on this short, steep crack which is harder than it looks. Rated 5.9 in the JT Bouldering guide, but it seems a bit harder.

This crack up a slabby corner is on the far left. It is the back-side of

and to the left of
