This aesthetic arête first climbs thin pinches directly on the arête for 10 feet or so then moves to the left. Good pockets, edges, and the sharp arête on the right make for a very aesthetic route.

Valgedur's Tooth

A thin crack leading right to a rippled face, up little edges, pockets, and roof corner left of black streak leading to the top of

Julias Arête

.

This relatively fun lead goes up an orange-ish corner with little roofs above, & dynamic moves out right on face, starts below the last bolt of

Julia Rayes Journey

. From that ledge and bolt, continue up the dihedral on big holds. As it steepens find more edges, more steep moves, then right past a flake and thin cracks with small holds & moves to anchor.

Overhanging base, reach for jugs and more holds and other edges and then slopers to gain left-facing corner and on to the coal-like ledge. Turn the roof (crux) past 3 bolts over juggy fins to join

Julia Raye's Journey

. Rock quality dictated bolt location on the roof, so have an attentive belayer, hence the PG rating as a fall at the roof w/ too much slack, might send the climber into the coal ledge. From the stance above the roof, traverse left and then up on great holds on blunt arête. More dynamic moves up to top lead just above big roof to ledge and anchor.

Climb up a clean face with a rib to the right then big flat holds; there are small crimps and fins left over roofs to the anchors

This follows a scooped out dihedral to the coal-like ledge and then turns the roof crack (crux) to join

Julia Rayes Journey

. From here, set up a belay for 2nd pitch traverse right to anchor.

This aesthetic arête has two options to choose from. The original route climbs the right side of the arête. Start at the base of the arête for full value. Alternately, begin in corner and get pro in a pocket then left to arête and up.

Climb a right-facing flare / flake system up to the crumbly, coal-like ledge and then turn the roof (crux) to join the bolts on

Julia Rayes Journey

. From here, traverse right to anchor.

From Genevieve the Jewel, descend to the right of the corner, after dropping down to the base right of a short dihedral, climb devious 5.5 moves up and right, then go left to a slab & bolt below coal ledge. From the ledge, ascend nice holds over a roof, get the hueco, then climb easier terrain and use the anchors of

Valgedur's Tooth

.

Climb up over big holds to a bulge and thin edge and up to move left to easier climbing and the coal ledge. Find tricky pro near the flaring crack / horn that protrudes from the roof and do wild moves to gain the stance and bolt on Julia Raye's Journey. From here, continue straight up to the tooth, to more bolts, and dynamic climbing to the anchor.
