Arctic Arachide, 5.10a

1st Pitch- 40m- 5.8/ There is sort of a ramp at the base of the wall between Almond’s corner and Macadamia’s corner. Start at the middle of that ramp and climb the face of it through a piton or two plus some gear. It is steep at first, but eases as you meander through some loose rock and blocks to get to the base of a fun corner/crack at the grade. This corner is the crux of the pitch, take it to a small ledge and set a gear belay there below the rotten roof above.
