Figured out a sit start to Cynthia’s Arete, felt like it made it a grade harder.

Start sitting with hands on side pull features just left of the seem. Pull on and do a few strong and tricky moves to get to the stand start, and finish Cynthia’s Arete.

Cynthia’s Arete Sit

The Scoop

Cynthia's Arete

Klemonade

Old School

Klemonade Sit

Rub my Butt

Great climbing on slopers and tiny edges up the blunt arete

Short and fun, yet committing, with a less than ideal landing

Left and on arete, right hand low undercling for the start. Climb the arete using a higher undercling and fun heel hooks

Start low on the undercling/sidepull features.  An awkward start leads to fun climbing on sidepulls and big crux move to the lip.  One of the first problems in the area, saith the black bible.

Start sitting on the W side of the boulder, holding left arete and right undercling, then climb into Klemonade

Stand start on good edges.  Careful footwork on tiny crystals.  The crux is attaining the slopey lip aka Butt.
