The crux hits your right off the ground on this one. 20' of hard off-fingers crack lead to a sport bolted arete. Only a couple finger-sized pieces of gear are needed for the climb, then a couple pieces for an anchor up top (or a long sling).

Arctic Arete

Drunks in Tow

Wild Turkey Arete

Kaleidescope

Hoodoo Temple

Land of the Midnight Sun

Alternate ending to Hoodoo Temple. Interesting climbing.

The crux is passing the first bolt. Place a piece before stepping up to clip the bolt. Falling down the gully and dragging off your belayer would be unfortunate.

The Hidden Treasures East guidebook incorrectly lists 2 bolts.  There is only one, right at the start and on the arete proper.

Stellar climb that becomes progressively harder as the crack widens and leans.  Good gear is found throughout the climb with several small gear placements in the crack. From the large ledge above where the offwidth ends, take the chickheads to the top finding gear where available. Also possible to link left into Arctic Arete from the ledge and follow the bolts up to the summit.

Excellent and varied climbing. The crux hits your right off and takes thin stoppers before moving into the wider crack. Straight up the left crack (left of Land of the Midnight Sun) takes you to the common tree. As a variation, head left from the midway ledge and do Drunks in Tow (5.10b).

Excellent route with good gear placements. Straight up and follow the right traversing hand to off-hands crack (crux) which ends on a good ledge/stance. After the traverse, follow the right hand and finger crack up to the tree and top out as per usual.
