Almost as classic as Jedi Jake, G23 Arete features equally good edges at the start to a crimpy arete sequence that leads to jugs at the top.

Start crossed on the two left-facing sidepull edges at the bottom of the arete. After a long move out right, find a way to reach the holds on the arete and top out.

Erik's Picnic

Do the same sit start as Jedi Jake and link it into the finish of G23 Arete.

This is one of the best V7's I've pulled on in Tuolumne and is most likely the main draw to visitors of the Campground Boulders.

Start low with a left edge and a right hand on the arete. Make a few moves on perfect crimps until a bigger move to the large left hand sidepull at the bottom of the rail. The V5 stand starts here. Follow the rail up to better holds and topout on jugs to the left (same topout at G23 Arete).

Sit start with left hand on the arete and the right hand on any number of sidepulls on the face. Pull a couple moves on positive holds until a balancy reach to a sharp crimp out left. Bring your foot up and snag the lip.

The movement and rock quality are great; the only downside is the sharpness of a few of the holds. The guidebook has this as PG-13 because of the kinda sketchy topout.

Start on G23 Arete and link it into the finish of Jedi Jake.

Start on a right facing sidepull and follow good edges to the top.

Start on the low crimp rail with the large foot rail near the base. Make one or two moves to grab the big hand rail and top out.
